Before Dan left, we woke up at 6am to try and get on
The Today Show! The Today Show is filmed live every morning at their studio in Rockefeller Plaza, and at the Plaza there is always a crowd of people with signs hoping to get 'interviewed.'

We didn't stay for very long. The show starts at 7am, I think. They let people in the plaza at around 6:30. They start to interview them but the segments aren't showed live, they show at 8am. So Dan and I just hung around for a while - maybe we were somewhere in the back of the crowd on that day's show. :P
I took Dan to his bus to the airport before lunch, then I spent the afternoon in
Central Park. Central Park is huge (it covers 843 acres which is 6% of Manhattan); I was only able to explore the lower half of the park.

Caught some softball games going on and I watched a few innings.
Sheep Meadow, an open area popular for sunbathing and picnics.
Walked up to
Strawberry Fields, a memorial dedicated to John Lennon. The entrance of this section is located across the apartment where Lennon lived.
The famous lake and Bow Bridge, which offers breathtaking views of the park.
Nearby the lake is the
Bethesda Fountain, dubbed the "heart" of Central Park.
And the
Bethesda Terrace, one of the most popular film locations in Central Park.

I had a lovely afternoon walking around, relaxing, and reading in the park.
