Wednesday Walk with @Siskita--50 blocks up the west coast of Manhattan! (pics) pt1

So on a whim (but in the interest of having some stress-lite time together) we decided to take a walk along the water for a bit. It started innocently enough around 72nd st, but a ways past 103rd, we realized we'd have to keep going to 125th in order to get to a subway since Riverside Drive doesn't have any crosswalks.

As a result, we walked 53 blocks!

The good news is that it was a great walk. It reminded me of how much I love the water. It also reminded me of those Instructibles on how to get your own free boat :)

Photo 1: siskita and I with the Hudson and the setting sun in the background.

Photo 2: saw this beautiful building from the walkway along the water.

Photo 3: a closer shot of the memorial--we think it is a Sailors and Soldiers Memorial.

Photo 5: me and the Hudson. It's so easy to forget we live on an island in NYC.

Stay tuned for more pics soon!
