Last weekend we went on a walking tour of Forte Green Brooklyn. We had a blast. We met artists, community activists, and other residents of BK. We stopped at MOCADA Museum and saw an exhibit of a Brooklyn-born and a South African-born artist.
We went to Lafayette Ave Presbyterian Church, visited a residents home,
walked around Forte Greene Park, and ended the tour in an artist's studio.
I've been hanging out with Sonja. We share something in common, unemployement. We've had tons of fun going to cafes, of coursing eating out cheaply, and visiting the NY Botanical Gardens. I look forward to more adventures.
I've been using the laundromat for the first time in my life. It's not so bad because I can go during the day when everyone else is at work. I lug my luggage full of dirty laundry up the street a couple blocks and clumsily begin the process. While I wait for my loads to finish, I watch the pros swiftly and neatly finish their laundry. I hope to reach such efficiency with time.
We went to the Botanic Gardens and took a long walk in Prospect Park on a beautiful day. Our then found ourselves flipping through books on Brooklyn in Barnes and Nobles in Park Slope. We crossed the street and ate the most delicious lunch at one of our favorite spots. MMMMM.... We're living the life!
