Now Cedric is visiting Central Park. He enjoyed relaxing in the sun in the Great Lawn after a long day of walking. We'd walked from 125th down to 112th, with detours to the Hudson River and Grant's tomb, a church, Columbia and Pink Berry (a frozen yogurt chain that is like Coldstone and Marbleslab; you select fruits, cereals or candies to be added to your yogurt), and I finally decided it was time to get on a bus and head town to the 79th Street entrance to Central Park. The center of Central Park provides a really great view of the skyscrapers that line 42nd Street between Grand Central Terminal (the station is the post office) and Times Square. 

The next day brought another trip to Central Park; this time beginning with a walk around the Jackie Onassis Kennedy Reservoir.  The skyline I mentioned earlier can be seen from here, too.

This week also included a new purchase from the Apple Store. The one on Fifth Avenue never closes. And it was designed to be a knock-off of the pyramid entrance to the Louvre. Instead of a pyramid, there's a glass square with an apple suspended inside, with an imitation circular glass stairway with a circular glass elevator in the center of the stairs, also like the Louvre. This also means that the entire store is underground.
