Saturday Adventures...

Saturday Dan, Julie, Zaneta and I explored Wave Hill. A park kinda place located up in Riverdale in the Bronx.
It has two houses on it...
One is full of strange art. Such as this table display accompanied by a wolf. Julie barred her teeth and defended us, the courageous girl.
And this piece of "art" which was made out of wood...and felt...and glass plates... and was very odd...
And outside there was NATURE! Not like Central Park, trying so hard to be an oasis in the middle of a teeming metropolis, but real nature! There were no cars, no high rises lurking on the edge just begging you to come back to the grind...
We were happy. Because we had missed nature.
I still heart polaroids a lot. And I still want a camera Dan!
In nature there is apparently a plant that looks like moose antlers. Dan was frightened of it.
There was also a gazebo in the middle of nature for people to sit in and relax and be attacked by spiders because they don't like to share their nature with big people.
Profound, no? That's nature for ya, taking things like words and throwing them right back in your face.
Happy yellow flowers. I heart flowers.
Then we tried to take jumping pictures... and it didn't really work.
But that's okay because then we sat on a nice cool bus for a long time and went to Arthur Avenue. Have you heard of it? It's the little Italy of the Bronx. It is at least 10 times better than the little Italy in Manhattan and not full of annoying tourists, but definitely full of better food and for a better price.
So we ate dinner. This is the only picture I took because after I opened the menu my mind exploded and I couldn't think of anything but Italian food and the deliciousness I was consuming. Their bread and olive oil? Choice. Their spicy meat-a-balls? Perfectly hot. Their Penne Vodka? Swoon! I stuffed myself silly and still had enough for large lunch today. Anyways... It was delish and if you ever want real Italian food in NYC don't even bother with the joke of little Italy in Manhattan. Just pop on over to Arthur Ave. in the B-X (the Bronx, and it's not scary people) and eat some yummy goodness.

It was a gooooood day.
