Yesterday morning was a little frustrating and a wee bit stressful (not the work, just the people at work), so by lunchtime we were more than ready to escape the studio. We walked down 5th Avenue at and annoyed-person-pace and ended up at Washington Square Park and instantly felt relaxed...
I'm not sure why we've not been down there at a lunchtime before - it's so beautiful and only 5 minutes walk away.Being surrounded by all the characters, the buildings, the beautiful arch and fountain, the buskers, the bulldog puppies, the cupcake cart, the hotdog vendors, the University students, the homeless people, the old couples, the school children, helped put everything back into perspective. The people at work might be complete plonkers, but we're having such a fantastic experience out here, it's not really worth getting het up about it (easier said than done sometimes though).
I think Washington Square Park might become a new lunchtime hangout spot on sunny days.
Work is work - wherever you are in the world and it's always good to get a breather.
