i could not NOT tell this story.
i don't know who suggested it, but it was a spur of the moment thing. "let's go downtown and take tee down to triangle park", one of the guys said. "sure!", i was up for anything.
it was about 10 minutes drive til we reached the destination.
finally, this is indeed the heart of the city. after finding a spot, we found a parking meter. "how do we use this?", we pondered among ourselves. but then again, it said until 5pm so we didn't put in any coins on it. :) anyhow, triangle park was still 3 blocks away.
"it's just nearby, just around the corner." and off we walked. took pictures in between. a few steps, then almost a block. it finally hit us, the bone-chilling cold. we were practically hugging ourselves but managed to say, "we're almost there, just a few steps". my hands, even with gloves on, were starting to get numb. still 2 blocks to go. then the two guys ahead of me, looked at each other then at me, shivered, and defeated, "let's go back".
needless to say it was ala amazing race back to the car. i never saw two guys running fast for their lives. and i never even had a peek of triangle park. :))
