A park!

We are very fortunate to live close to a park in a city so big (roughly 15 million)!!  I have been spending a lot of time in the park walking and running.  As you can see in the pictures they have a running and walking track built around a lake.  At just about any time of the day you can find people walking, running, biking, skateboarding or rollerblading on the track. 

This weekend John and I spent time both Saturday and Sunday in the park.  The weather here is getting SO nice that it’s hard to not be outside enjoying the sun.  We had a picnic on Saturday with some things from the local stands.  On Sunday we went with some friends for ice cream and then hung out in the park for a while. 

On that note-ice cream here is a major part of the culture.  We both think that it has something to do with the large Italian influence.  Whatever the reason is, I’m glad it’s here!  Along with the delicious pizza and homemade pasta everywhere you go…
