wwcitizenSo, yesterday was the NYC AIDS Walk 2009. By the time I arrived at 10AM, about 3/4 of the people had already left and all the fanfare and jubilee (that to me is really so unnecessary and over the top) was finished. I was able to walk right up to the registration table, get my packet, walk quickly over to the refreshments area for waters, chips, and fruit, and then begin walking. The walk itself wasn't nearly as packed as in previous years, but I was one of the more than 45,000 people who walked raising (so far)
$5,603,409!!
How exciting!! (And you can still donate, if you haven't!! Many thanks to all who have already donated.)
The day was quite gray and overcast. There was a thunderstorm forecast, but thankfully, because of my trusty umbrella, THAT never happened!
I left the house at 9:15 AM, and got home at 2:45 PM. All in all a great day of walking, sightseeing, and photography (I used my little point-and-click that day because of a previous "theft" during the walk that I won't go into here...). Here are a few pictures documenting my trek (on Picasa - you can watch the slideshow here, or click on it to read through my comments of the photos.).
