Roosevelt Island

It was really beautiful out today albeit a bit windy. I went to Roosevelt Island to have an excuse to get out of the apartment and see the city. At the southern tip of the island are ruins of an old smallpox hospital. There were hardly any people and I ended up taking a lot of pictures.

I would love to live there

New York pigeons are the fattest pigeons I've ever seen

I almost forgot to mention that my dad gave me his pipe:

Isn't it amazing? It's too heavy to hold between my teeth and pretend to be Sherlock Holmes
