Yesterday we had our excursion to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It was marvelous! we tramped throughout the whole entire place; my friend checker her tracker app and said we had walked three miles. Highlights of new blooms were the lilacs, tree peonies, bluebells, azaleas, and wisteria. The colors of the azaleas are amazing:
The cherry trees had leafed out so the blossoms weren't as visible, but they were still floating down around us. I especially enjoyed the people watching--lots of small children. After, we got soft serve at a Mister Frostee truck in front of the Brooklyn Museum's OY/YO sign.
In the morning, we had a fabulous brunch at Chavela's in Crown Heights: a guarache with beans and pork and two perfectly fried eggs and torrejas with fruit compote and panela. We ate outside in a lovely booth area surrounded by plants. This is what it looked like pre-lockdown:
