Another day of tourism: Governor's Island followed followed Strand bookstore (18 miles of books!). The island was so peaceful, that by the end of my hour there, I was anxious to catch the ferry back to Manhattan. There were so few people, I think especially because it was a weekday. And the many deserted buildings made it feel even more like a ghost town, a place from the past. But for the hour plus that I was there, it was great to see the art work that has been set up, the interactive adult play gym and whatnot, and chill on some hammocks. Never would have thought that public hammocks were within a 10 mile radius of my home, but in New York, I think everything is here, somewhere, if you know where to look.....

 |
| empty houses, everything was empty they have signs for different artistic or craft organizations which are probably open on the weekends |
