Brooklyn Bridge

I went to meet Miss Ina for a tour of her hood and a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge together.

I thought since it was a lovely day I would walk from Greenpoint over to her place. On google maps it said it would take an hour and a half. At my walking speed, that mean't an hour tops. 

I got past all my familiarities after I went under the Williamsburg bridge. The first unknown area I entered was a distinctly Hassidic Jewish neighbourhood. Due to my intense fascination with this group, I enjoyed every step. I so desperately wanted to pull out my camera and blatantly take pictures of everyone, but I resisted. 

The next neighbourhood was not so fun, I found myself walking through the Projects down Flushing Ave. Just as I was starting to realize this wasn't such a great idea, three guys sped by on the back tires of their dirt bikes in a race to the finish line. Lucky for me, everything was just fine and dandy.

I finally ended up in Brooklyn Heights, met Ina and walked along the promenade.  We went across the Brooklyn bridge and in Manhattan for some much needed dinner in China Town.
