Sunday in the Park with Llama

I was so excited yesterday that I didn’t even tell you about my first adventure of the summer!

On Sunday I took the R (with some difficulty) to the 4 to lower Manhattan.  There I met up with a friend of a friend…who is now my friend too! We waited in line for an hour to take the Governors Island ferry across a watery distance that was less than most bridges I’ve crossed.  Whatever, its an adventure!  (Saying something really stupid, or awful, or all around not fun, is an adventure automatically makes it 50% better.)

Once on the island we met up with some of my new friend’s friends, which I proceeded to make my friends! Mwahaha! (<-evil laugh)

We had a lot of food, conversation, organized question asking, and FUN!  By “organized question asking” I mean, we played spin the bottle but when the bottle pointed to someone they had to answer a question.  It was a really fun way to get to know each other.  Most of the answers were funny stories, and others were more serious but either way it was always an entertaining conversation.  I talked about my junior prom when my very sweet, and sincere date told me I was like an iceberg; he could only see what was on the surface.  He wanted to get to know me better.  I felt so bad because he wasn’t giving me a line, he really meant it.  Either way it didn’t work.

The last ferry off the island is at 7pm.  The island…people, told us that we needed to get on the 6:30 ferry so we packed up our picnic got on the boat to leave.

We had so much fun we forgot to take pix until we left

The 2second ferry ride was a nice end to my weekend.  After that, I got on the R back to Queens.

I’m so excited that my first outing was successful; I made friends, sat near trees, floated across some toxic water, conquered the scary unknown that is subway construction detours, and set a good precedent for the rest of the summer.

Tomorrow night I am attending the Barge Bash at Peir 17!
