Attached are the photos I took during the walking group's walk over the Williamsburg Bridge on Monday, July 9, 2007. The walk was from about 6:50pm to about 8:45pm. The first photo is a of the Transit Museum in Brooklyn. The next photo is of the meeting place. The next photo is a statue in Chinatown of an envoy for the emperor of that time. Next, the group being the walk over the bridge. Next, we are now on the Brooklyn side of the bridge. The statue photo is in a park next to the bridge. Finally, the last photo is the sunseting as we do the return walk.

This will need to be brief. I did quite a bit of walking today, and my legs are already sore. I rowed this morning on my machine for 45 minutes, burning 118 calories. I took a shower, then ate a quick lunch, I had a cup of microwavable rice and a can of sardines in mustard sauce. I left my apartment about 2:30. My plan was to go to the Transit Museum then walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to the meeting spot of the walking group that I would attend today.

I arrived at the museum entrance...it was closed. It closed at 4pm. I decided to walk over the Manhattan Bridge, then walk from Chinatown to the meeting spot of the walking group. The meeting time was 6:30pm at the scupture across the street from the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. However, the walking event was to walk over (and back) the Williamsburg Bridge. I did not realize it at the time, but I had already walked over the Williamsburg Bridge a few months ago.

I arrived at the meeting spot an hour early. The two walking group leaders arrived around the 6:40pm. The group waited until 6:50 before starting the walk. There were 7 participates in total.

After we walked the bridge, everyone seemed to scatter (going in his or her own direction). The walk ended about 8:45pm. I ended up by myself on Delancy Street on the east side. I was planning to walk to the west side to catch the #1 train, but I realized that I would have to take the Metro-North which was now on an hourly schedule. About 9pm, I walked to Spring street. I ended up missing the Metro-North train, so I had to wait about 40 minutes for the next train. Since I had time to kill, I went to the Chinese restaurant to order a small eggdrop soup.

As soon as I finish this blog entry, I will soak in the bath. The attached photo is of the Williamsburg Bridge taken from the Brooklyn side. I will upload the other 5 photos taken another time. I'm too tired now.
