Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them. ~John Shirley

This weekend wasn't long enough, but then again they never are.

On our way to the Central Park we ran into this street fair...

with this adorable German band...

When Fifth Avenue was shut down for this parade, we realized it was Oktoberfest!

Finally we arrived in the park...

to find hundreds of tables set up for chess competitions!

Ran into this stranded bike...

And finally arrived.

 and don't forget the hundreds of people who showed up to toss colorful frisbees! 

It was a festive Saturday and a wonderful weekend
