Saturday (September 8, 2007) morning we went and walked around the lake in the Flushing Meadows Park. It was a long, but beautiful, walk. When you are in the park- it does not feel like you are near/in a big city. We watched a girls rowing team practice- which was cool because we had never seen that in person before (they don’t really row in the west). As we walked around we looked over a bridge and saw TONS of turtles (we saw up to 12 at one time) and it was so cool. They were pretty big- probably 6 inches across (like a larger one found in CO) and there were so many. As we were watching them, suddenly out of no where, a huge (I mean HUGE) turtle popped to the surface to get some air. It was probably a foot across and 3 feet long. Ben and I decided that we think he was the posterity of the Ninja turtles-but he looked way to lazy to be acrobatic in any ninja ways. It was so cool to see it and really nice to walk through the park.
