So this is something I have wanted to do for some time, walk the Brooklyn Bridge. It is on the top of every tourist must do list so of course, I hadn't done it. But Wenarto promised his mom he would snap a shot of the Statue of Liberty and I had read you could see it from the bridge. So bright and early Friday morning, we gathered the troops and went across to lower Manhattan.
Me, Elly (Raef's friend from Seattle), W and Katie posing from about the mid-way point in front of the lower Manhattan skyline.
And the promised pic of Lady Liberty from the bridge.
Here is W preparing for his Youtube from the bridge. MOST of the people passing by were nice. But there were a few out-of-towners who didn't know what to make of it.
Finally- striking a pose at the end of the bridge. It takes about 30 minutes to walk and about 45 if you add a youtube and photoshoot session.
I have to say- although I don't consider myself a tourist anymore, it was a ton of fun. I definitely recommend it for anyone who lives here and hasn't done it or for first timers. I think it would be better to start from the Manhattan side and then plan a few hours in the up and coming neighborhood across the bridge, DUMBO. Lots of little cafes', shops, etc.
Oye oye!
