Saturday at the beach

Monday = blog day?
It has truly become a ritual ;-)
After an enjoyable footing in Central Park, saturday was our visit to another part of Brooklyn, very different from last week: Coney Island and Brighton Beach, linked together by a long beach. We went there with Danny, remember my Sapnish friend who made me drink Bubble tea...

Coney Island is characterized by its old fashioned theme park, from the beginning of the 20th century. The beach is really huge, and used to be very frequented by New Yorkers, more than 100 years ago. I wonder if they're still coming there in summer.

Brighton Beach is also called Little Odessa, it's full of Russians, including old people who sit on the benches next to the beach and can't speak a word of English. Lunch was a beef Stroganoff for Danny and me, tasty and cheap, and also quite exotic... It felt like we were playing in the Godfather movie, except everything was Russian... By the way, Romania lost live to Holland in soccer World Cup qualifiers (Du foot quoi...). Yes, soccer is exotic here...

Before coming home, we made a stop in Prospect park, yet another part of Brooklyn. The park is supposed to be 4 times small than Central Park, but we got completely lost... It also felt much more quiet than in CP becase no road is going through. Might be a good idea to come back in summer.
But beware of the dangerous ice!!!
