Found: a HERO!

When I write I prefer to use the word "adventure" rather than "goof-up", even though there is a part of me which knows this is not correct.  Let's just say that "adventure" seems to follow me with regularity, and leave it at that. . .

Take a close look at this handsome young man

in the middle.  He is a Hero!

One of my favorite things about NYC was seeing Central Park.  It was a great place for photo ops.

We spent some time here taking photos and enjoying

the beauty of the day.

THEN, we hailed a taxi and headed for

the SoHo district. . .we were almost there

when I discovered I had forgotten my camera,

leaving it on a bench in the park.

Suddenly I felt like a sad child and my two

lovelies began to console me.  They insisted we go back to the park - I knew it was a useless

cause as approx 40 min would have lapsed

before we could even get back there.

They continued to INSIST, soooooo, we told the taxi driver to

take us back to where he had originally

picked us up.

He did.

We jumped out of the taxi -

the girls left me waiting on a street corner

and they took off running at full speed

back into the park.

They returned only minutes later,

out of breath, smiling ear to ear,

carrying my camera.

Can you believe it?!

The story:  they returned to the park bench

which was surrounded by a class of students.

The cute guy in the photo had just at that

moment found the camera and was turning

it in to the teacher.
He could have pocketed
the camera and no one
would have ever known,
but he didn't.

We didn't get the boys name

but the teacher did take a photo

to "capture the moment".

So it was $15 (taxi) to SoHo,

$15 back to Central Park,

and then

$15 back to SoHo,

but it is something the girls

and I will always remember,

PLUS

I.Got.My.Camera.Back.

(If you follow my blog regularly you

will remember that I had just

bought this camera.)

What an GOOF-UP  ADVENTURE,
and a great reminder that there
are good, honest, people
who live among us.
