I have been in New York for about three years and Brooklyn for one. I like to walk and never really had the chance because where I lived previously, you needed a car to go anywhere. Once I moved here i decided to take advantage of the opportunity. I took many walks and enjoyed them all, long and short. i walked along the Hudson River park on the westside, the entire length of Central Park, and from the South Street Seaport to Battery Park. Most recently, I walked the Brooklyn Bridge. I started in Brooklyn and went to Manhattan. The first thing I noticed is that there is very fluent traffic on the path in the center of the bridge. Both pedestrians and bikers. There were a lot of tourists, as well as people just out on their daily jog. The sun was shining and there was a delightful breeze. This moment sticks out to me especially because I was walking with my soon-to-be girlfriend. i decided to take the extra step to go up on the side of the walkway for a better view and it was worth it. You could see all the boats in the water and beautiful clouds in the sky. Even more mesmerizing was the traffic going in both directions on either side of me. This is a sight that most will never experience considering how dangerous it would be to be in the middle of opposite flowing traffic at that speed. It wasn’t until i reached the middle that I realized it wasn’t the end and that it was much longer than i anticipated, although I didn’t mind. I look forward to having many more walks in Brooklyn that impact me like this one did.
