This place is so huge, it's like a city of it's own. We took a walking tour, went to the zoo, and ice skated. I also found out that there is a 2.5 acre area called Strawberry Fields, which is named after the Beatles' famed "Strawberry Fields Forever" song and was created after John Lennon's death in 1980 because he was a longtime beloved resident of New York. It's pretty cool.
The ladies enjoyed the carriage ride, and the beautiful gardens and romantic bridges (especially Bow Bridge), and other crap like that. I have to admit that Bow Bridge is actually kind of cool because it is made of cast iron and the name comes from it's resemblance to an archer's bow. At least that makes it seem a little more manly. Donkey and I most enjoyed the Belvedere Castle. And a little tidbit of info you might be interested in: anytime you hear a weather report for Cental Park, the data is taken straight from the weather station at Belvedere Castle. Sorry, but I couldn't tell if it was a Davis weather station. Anytime I see a castle, it reminds me of the first time we met Fiona and Dragon--and how incredible we were at rescuing them and being awesome heros. Yep, that's me. A handsome hero who works with an ass.
