My father joined me for my second day in the city, and we decided to head out together to do some walking. I had heard from some friends that you can walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, which I thought sounded pretty incredible. We arrived and discovered that the bridge was actually built with a whole raised pedestrian section right down the middle, which now comes complete with both pedestrian and bike lanes! We ended up walking the entire length of the bridge into Brooklyn, and then back again, and around in some of the surrounding areas. The views of Manhattan were astounding, and the bridge itself is a remarkable structure. I’d recommend the walk to anyone who wants a unique view of the city, and also of this historic landmark. We had a great time snapping photos together, and getting some exercise at the same time. I hope you enjoy this next batch of photos!

After walking the bridge we explored some of the surrounding area on the Manhattan side, which houses the City Hall, some beautiful small parks, and the city court houses.
