Gates_with_rocks

We took a last minute trip to New Jersey when a bargain fare coincided with a free weekend and the Christo Gates in Central Park. It was provoked by our friend Mike Buckley, who, after I emailed that I was jealous that they'd seen the Gates, emailed back "don't be jealous. Get on a plane." So we did. We arrived Saturday afternoon, had a wonderful late Spanish lunch in the Newark Iron Bound district, and then relaxed at their house. On Sunday we drove into the city, where we were blessed with sunshine. Here are the gates from Central Park West, across from the Natural History Museum.
