Oktoberfest at Bear Mountain

On an early morning, I made my way to the pier for a ferry boat to Bear Mountain. After coming to New York, other than the trees outside my apartment and Central Park, i find myself just missing greenery and foliage. 

The boat ride was seriously much longer than i expected. Like 2.5 hours long. I enjoyed the journey and the scenery but after a while, you get bored. My fellow passengers started boozing even before reaching our destination with the bar on board. It was a fun party ~ 

Reaching the pier and walking up the trail to the festival, i found myself at a rather homely market of crafts and food. The festival was by the lake. There were people with barbecues pits, families and kids playing in the fields. 

It was a beautiful day, it was a cold day and at moments like this, i wish i had my friends around. Yes, that's you, the one reading my blog. :)
