"Joy comes from places you least expect it. It's usually the simple things, like watching my son play basketball or going through Central Park when the blossoms are blooming" - Dave Gahan
Today was an enormous adventure. Being the country bumpkin that I am, growing up in the backwaters of SA, a trip to NYC is quiet daunting! But, I couldn't have visitors and not make the trip there. So...after a little research we worked out that the best way in is by train on the NJ Transit from Morristown, directly to Penn Station. So, off we went, with google maps in hand with all the landmarks we wanted to catch along the way. On arrival, our aim was to head to Central Park via Times Square which we managed. It was the most amazing experience...Soph's and I could not believe that when we met 26 years ago we would ever have been living in the same country experiencing Central Park together for the first time! It was so special. After lunch in the park we headed to more landmarks, catching the metro, and the train home! We negotiated public transport, maps, no-maps, two train stations, and a parking garage! AND we did not even get lost! What an awesome, amazing day! My heart is filled with joy!
