Sunday Morning Skate to Brooklyn
Met skaters at 11:00 at the Columbus Circle then went to Brooklyn via 59th Bridge.
Skated through Navy Yard, final destination was "Uncle Luigi" 7th street on 7th avenue.
After having a big ice cream cone, skated Prospect Park for one loop.
Because of a hot weather and high humidity and alos extremely slopy course (Park Slope, Brooklyn), felt like skated lot of miles, but actuality, it was not as much as normal Sunday Morning Skate.

Battery City Park
Turned down an invite for a beach-skate (what an attractive one!), because I was not confident that I can complete a long run without being attacked by a jet lag.
Skated within Manhattan instead. Made a round trip to Battery City Park. Met some friends. Weather was so nice. I truly enjoyed the roll.

Jingu Gaien Park
I had a plan to join a group skate, Ueno CR (CR=City Run), but could not make it due to jet lag and cold weather.
Went to Jingu Gaien Park again.
No car is allowed during Sundays and holidays, so skating on the loop is more enjoyable than yestereday.
In this park, it seems that ball games are not prohibited, that means there is a danger to be hit by a ball.
Temparature dropped to 55 degrees, but there are quite number of skaters.
