ice skating at bryant park

today was the last day of ice skating at bryant park. we woke at 6:30 am to get ready to go. we were there when they opened at 8 am. i love skating so early. there aren't many people on the ice and the air feels . . . fresher than later in the day! it was also warmer skating today than the day before yesterday. it was very cold wednesday!! invigorating!! my fingers and toes were cold and i had to make several trips inside to warm them. that wasn't necessary today. we skated until 10:45 am and then headed home for lunch and a rest before afternoon classes.
