The MisAdventures of the Subway

To try to speed things up a bit, and not kill our feet more than we did, we opted for the subway to get to Central Park. Too bad we head Downtown instead of Uptown.(I now have "Downtown" in my head as well as "Uptown Girls"....) We thought that we needed to go to 59th street, so we went on it. Then the train went across the water. Did we immediately worry? A little bit. But then I was the brilliant one who thought, oh it goes in a circle, we'll get there eventually. Since after all it said 59th street on the digital route thing in there. So when we got off the 59th street and 4th ave believing we were still in Manhattan, it was a little less than pleasant to see Brooklyn. Yep, we got lost in Brooklyn. It just doesn't get old. The subway worker laughed at us when we said we wanted to get back to Central Park. He knew we were subway newbies. I think everyone knew. Sigh.

Here's a picture of the map with some identifying spots. Yes. We were on for that long and did not think that much to get off.
