A walk to New Jersey and back

Farrell and I took a walk up to and over the George Washington Bridge today. It probably wasn't the smartest idea we've ever had. It was really too hot. We've done it before, but never in weather like this. It was 99 degrees at 3:00 when we left the house. It only got hottter from there. There's a little park nestled into the Palisades on the New Jersey side of the bridge that affords a great view of Manhattan. It was probably about 11 or 12 miles round trip.

A vew from the Manhattan side. This is the lighthouse made famous in the children's book "The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge".


A view from the New Jersey side. It was so hazy and humid that it came out kind of blurry.

I love this entry. I never heard of the book and the photos are excellent. Maybe you should go into photography!!! You can be the photonurse. You can take pictures of your patients.

You guys are NUTS -- I didn't think they allowed walkers on that bridge.
