Central Park

I visited Central Park today. I was surprised by its size and rockiness. To me, parks are like St. James and Regents Parks in London. They are flat, grassy with maybe one body of water. Central Park does have some flat spots but, it also has some parts where huge rocks jut out of the earth. Like St. James, it has at least one small lake where you can feed ducks and swans. Another similarity I found between it and St. James are the picture sellers. There were a number of them lined up along 60th Avenue (I think). One nice difference I found was the nice ice skating rink they have. It was neat to watch the skaters. Overall, I thought it was a very pretty park where one could relax from the rush rush grind of the city.
