Tuesday 'it snowed. The first snow of the season in NYC.
Last night I played football. Uff ...
not get me wrong, it's not that I complain, I enjoy playing football with my mates yellow for another hour, I also learned the name of the team: Flanders.
The fact is that since the season started again in college football no longer play 'in the stadiums of Columbia, but we play to Roosevelt Island.
Roosevelt Island is called 'the small apple', is a narrow island in the 'East River 3 km in length and 250 meters wide at its most 'wide, 12,000 inhabitants. Roosevelt Island is residential, a dormitory overlooking the city ', has its own newspaper that is published every 15 days, his gym, his starbucks, his hot dog vendor, his drugstore. A cable car and a subway connecting Roosevelt Island to Manhattan.
You must cross the whole island (in length) to the subway to the field and is a nice walk, as I walk I think about how quiet compared to the city ', you hear the noise of Manhattan across the river but here everything is quiet, only one road runs through the island and not meeting anyone for at least ten minutes and this is really weird, something which has no more 'accustomed. Then I meet a guy who runs. Hood of his sweatshirt up, with two bricks in his hand. Apart from Bizarro Boy With Bricks not meet anyone from the metro stop to the field.
It's nice to be here and play against the skyline of Mahnattan.
So what? Where's the problem?
Roosevelt Island is the most 'windy in New York. I played with gloves and earmuffs, and I was afraid of losing my nose, I ran like crazy to avoid freezing but it did not, we lost 4 to 3. A hard fought game and very cold. Of course I am ill '.
Unfortunately, despite the defeat, we went to the playoffs too. I just hope I'm still sick by then.
