biking in the city

we've been biking along the bike path several times already since we've returned from connecticut on saturday. i really love it. the air from the river smells like the sea and the wind is usually always strong.
today we biked past my favorite spot with all the reeds and sea grasses and board walk and benches, past penny park and the battery park promenade, to a grassy area with weeping willow trees and giant flowers and the statue of liberty in the distance. we spread out an old picnic blanket and ate our sandwiches. we watched several beautiful sailboats glide by and i read a little from arthur ransome's the big six. it was wonderfully peaceful.
i did alright with the filming and biking at the same time until we were on the way home. and then i almost ran down a woman walking along the bike path. time to put the camera away!
