New York City “The Big Apple” was one the my dream place to visit and couple of years ago that dreams came true. The purpose for that visit was to renew my passport and submit a report of marriage. We stayed at my SIl place in Manhattan where Central Park is just a walking distance. It was a tiring walk but I did not mind it because i love it.
Central park is one of the biggest park in the US. Lots of things to see in Central park and this Conservatory Water was one of them. People with radio powered sailboat enjoy hanging out in this place to play with their boats. You can also enjoy bird watching in this place and sometimes a group of people playing different musical instrument for entertainment.
Can you spot the crying baby? She did not want to listen the Ugly Duckling Story I think.
[Hans Christian Andersen Statue]
Just west of the Conservatory Water where kids often race miniature sailboats, the statue of Hans Christian Andersen awaits exploration. The memorial was built primarily with funds raised by Danish and American schoolchildren in memory of the author of such famous tales as “The Emperor’s New Clothes” and “The Ugly Duckling.” On Saturdays at 11 a.m. from May through September, children (and parents) gather to hear free storytelling based on his fairy tales near his statue.
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) is best known for his children’s stories such as The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling.
