The Brooklyn Bridge

*This picture was taken by me

Hello everyone! Sorry, I know it's been about a month since my last post. It has been a very busy January. So this post is my last post(for now) about Brookyln. So, as you can tell it is about the Brookyln Bridge. This was the last thing I did in Brooklyn because we crossed the bridge to get to Manhatten. Walking over the Brooklyn bridge is a great experience for numerous reasons.
1.)So, to get onto the bridge you need to get onto a walkway, which gets you on the bridge. This walkway is located in downtown Brooklyn. I really liked downtown Brooklyn when I was there. There was a park there for kids to hang out after school. I saw alot of kids walking home from school in Brooklyn that day, so it was nice to know they had a park to go to in the city. Now, there are signs that lead you up to the walkway for the bridge. Once I got on the walkway it was pretty straight forward from there and in no time I was on the bridge.
2.) If you have walked across a bridge then you know that you usually walk along the side of the bridge. This is not the case for the Brooklyn bridge. When you walk across the Brooklyn bridge you walk in the middle of the bridge. You are also overtop of the cars. So the walkway I was on before leads into the walkway across the bridge, just more elevated. The walkway on the bridge also has benches to sit on.
3.) The Brooklyn Bridge is very scenic. When you walk across you can see many famous New York City attractions for tourists. I saw the statue of liberty, the empire state building...that's all I can think of lol. So maybe you dont see a TON of attractions, but you do see at least 2 major ones. Also when I was walking over the bridge, the sun was almost setting and the sky looked kind of blue and orange.
4.) Then finally when you get off of the Brooklyn bridge, you are greeted by a nice and very small park in Manhatten.
The Brooklyn bridge is such a nice walking bridge, mostly because it really looks nice for the people who do walk on it. When I say nice I mean that there is not much graffiti as seen on most bridges. It seems as thought the Brooklyn bridge is more of a walking tourist attraction instead of driving over the bridge. It is a pretty long bridge, but it's not extremely long, just long enough so that really anyone can walk on it. You can walk both ways to so if you need to go back to where you came from you can. So when your in New York City I would defiantly suggest to go walk across the Brooklyn bridge if you need a good walk, and are in the area.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Yes, I know Im a day late haha. Yesterday was very hectic for me and I couldn't get to posting. I went to the mummers parade yesterday in Philadelphia. I walked along Broad street watching all the mummers preform in thier crazy costumes. If you dont know what the mummers parade is all about, let me tell you. It is held on new years day every year in Philadelphia. People in the parade are called mummers and they are just ordianry people dressed up in crazy costumes and usually they preform skits with songs. They go all the way up broad street from south philly to City Hall to preform in front of the judges. I use the mummers Parade as a way to complete a goal of mine. The goal is to walk from City Hall, all the way down Broad street, to the Phillies Baseball Stadium. Yesterday I got pretty far, farther than I did last year. I only had about 14 or 15 more blocks to go. So, back to the topic of New Years. This new years im making some traveling goals for myself. I want to visit another state in the U.S, and I want to visit another country. What are your traveling goals(or regular goals) for the new years?
