Finishing the Henry Hudson River Greenway Walk

I accidentally posted "the Cloister Museum" blog entry before a couple of other entries (including this one).


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The meeting time was 2:30p.m. I arrived about 2:10p.m. Vpal arrived about 2:35p.m. We started from the 14th street where we had left off from the previous week. The walk was okay. I wasn't really in the mood for a walk, but it was still an okay walk. Unfortunately, the photos really didn't come out that great. I thought the Cloister photos came out really nice, but there just wasn't a lot of interesting things to take pictures of. Everything seem to have one type of an obstical or another. When we arrived at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, I told Vpal that since I missed his birthday, I would buy him a veggie burger meal at the local diner mention on this blog from time to time. So, we walked back to West 4th Street. For dinner I had the turkey burger, and Vpal had a veggie burger. I don't know why but the meal was not as good as it had been in the past. My turkey burger was a bit dry. Both the bacon and the bun were also hard and dry. After the meal, went our separate ways agreeing to meet next weekend for a walk up Broadway. In total we walked about 5 miles.

Once again, I missed the MN train, so I took the 9:04 express train and walked home from Yonkers (adding about another 25 minute walk).

When I arrived home, the first thing I did was to clean my bathtub so that I could soak in the tub so that I am not too stiff tomorrow to go to the gym.

The attached picture was taken of New Jersey on the other side of the Hudson River.

Henry Hudson Parkway Walk

The plan was to meet up with Vpal to walk along the Henry Hudson Parkway (the west side of Manhattan Island). The meeting place was at 145th street and Broadway (the point we stopped last week due to rain). The meeting time was 2:30p.m. I arrived about 15 minutes early. Vpal arrived about 1 hour late. Yes, one hour late. I would have left after about a 30 minute wait, but I'd forgotten to bring my cell phone. Our walk started about 3:30p.m. We walked along the greenway on the west side of Manhattan Island. This time I finally remembered to bring the pedometer (a electronic device that measures the distance walked). We walked to 14th street and 12th avenue. My pedometer said the distance we walk was about 7 miles; I later checked Google Maps and the Google site also gave 7 miles as the distance. By the time we arrived at 14th street, I was tired. We agreed to continue next weekend from this point. We would have gone further, but I stopped us often to take photos along the way. We went our separate ways at the A train station. I went uptown, Vpal went downtown. I read my DS9 book and managed to get a seat on the train. In the Bronx with about a 30 wait for the MN train, I ate dinner at Subway's. Since I will be starting my boxing lessons tomorrow...I hope; I told myself tonight would be the last day for junk food for awhile...again, I hope. I had a Subway personal pizza, 3 macadamia cookies, and a large drink. I returned home about 9pm. I washed out the tub from this morning's bath, so that I could soak my legs. While the bathtub is filling up, I'm writing this quick blog entry.\

The attached photo is a picture I took of the George Washington Bridge.
