Ah, ne t'inquiete pas, soit content...
The pond is not truly completely empty, it is but a little low. I, of course, took a little freedom with the facts, as I am sometimes wont to do. After nearly a week in that fair city, where even a small bottle of water came at a premium price of $2 from your average street vendor, I noticed the lack of it everywhere.
One of my favorite parts of the trip was my meander through Central Park. My friends did not understand my need to visit the pond, but they trailed after me in good humor. I let them stop to hear the nut who was yelling obscenities in Strawberry Fields, so I think that it all evened out.
Regards,
Cecilia.
(I'm glad you liked my little summary.)
