Day 2 in NYC. Took the bus down to Greenwich Village & bumped into a herd of Indian elephants. 100 of them that are touring the USA. They are exquisitely made from a rampant weed that is strangling the Indian forest and damaging the wildlife. Their are more wild elephants in this district than anywhere else in the world. Each elephant is a faithful replica of the real elephant and is known by name by the inhabitants. Lovely to see.
Went onto Little Island which is constructed of what looks like giant tee pegs or eggcups built into the Hudson. It is connected by sloping paths or steps up & down each tee peg. Lots of seats and an arena with tiered benches for viewing shows. Nicely planted & looked after.
We then walked a mile or two along the High Line. This a former elevated rail track that has been converted to a public park with artworks & gardens. It's a beautiful oasis in the middle of the city. Got some interesting characters that watch you while you walk.
