The last two days, I wandered around Soho and Lower East Side, catching up with old friends and exploring new pockets of the city. New to me anyway, since most of these places have been around for a while. Yesterday, I went to Jones Beach. Who knew there was such a nice beach so close to the city. Prior, I had been to Coney Island and Rockaway beach. I had gotten a bad ear infection swimming at Coney Island (people say it is quite polluted), and it is usually super crowded. Rockaway was better, but I don't really remember it.
The water was unexpectedly warm, and the sky towards the land was thick with low hanging clouds, while the sky above the water was solid blue. When I looked above, the cloud pattern made the sky look like breaking waves. Since it was Thursday, there were few people. Beside us, a family had brought a stereo and played Latin music, so we could also benefit. Of course, I like Latin music, maybe other people would have found it annoying. I was sad when they packed up, and we were left with silence. It was a beautiful day to spend at the beach though.
I am now on the bus to DC, for my best friend's birthday.
