Around LES

Saturday was National Go Skateboarding Day, worldwide apparently.  I went down to the official starting area - the Banks, which are located under the Brooklyn Bridge at Pearl Street.  There were thousands of skateboarders, mostly teenagers younger than me.  I felt a little out of place, but managed to blend in fairly well.  A baseball cap will almost always disguise your true age.  

I left after the second stop, at Coleman Playground, and skated through Chinatown on my way home.  At times, you wouldn't even think you were in New York.  I went long periods of time without seeing any signs in English.  The chinese pagoda was particularly interesting.
