Very nice pictures, Jenny. And thanks for the lamp post pic. It's interesting. A co-worker took me to NYC about a year ago, and he got delayed in the Dominican consulate or whatever it was, for a very long time. I ended up walking back and forth between his car and that place for a few hours. Most of our day was wasted. He then promised to take me back very soon after, but to this day he has not. The main thing for me, at least on the first trip, is to see certain buildings and historic places. I would then want to go back at a later date to go to some of the parks and other similar places. Inwood would be one of them. I would also love to see Broad Channel and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, among other places. Barry

I am so happy I went and I can't wait to go back. I took one pic I thought you would like of a broken old vandalized lamp post next to some trees. I think that 'forgotten NYC' site talks about it. The pix do not capture the feeling in the park at all, but for what they're worth: http://picasaweb.google.com/JennifDudley/InwoodPark2?feat=directlink Jenny On May 14, 4:28 pm, Barry Caselli <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey didn't I tell you?
