The humidity of the city has finally abated, leaving sunny days and cooling breezes behind. I try not to complain about the heat of the New York summer, as I can't overstate enough how much I love living somewhere with seasons (rather than the lackluster changes we find in the UK, where a day in December could conceivably be the same temperature as one in July). However, it is nice to go outside and not immediately start sweating. To celebrate Mr and I went for a little stroll in Prospect Park, a short walk from our apartment. It was designed by the same people who were responsible for Central Park, and it's similarly enormous. I immediately found it more appealing than its Manhattan equivalent though, as Mr said, it just feels more like a proper park.

As we strolled we heard shouting, so went to investigate. Our curiosity was rewarded with a group of very enthusiastic people performing Jason and the Argonauts next to a bandstand.

This littl girl was so enthusiastic about the whole thing she broke into spontaneous applause.

These little girls were less impressed, but I liked their contrasting hijabs.

Even though I've seen the film and feel like I have a decent grasp of the story, I got a little bit confused about what was happening (though enthusiasic, I was getting a bit of a Legz Akimbo vibe from some of the performers) so after a while we strolled off into the afternoon sun.
