'Superman In The Park'

After a quick trip back to the hotel, we had another treat in store. Bryant Park is a wonderful place, every time I go there it seems to metamorphose into a different venue, it can be a park, an exhibition Centre and Monday night it had taken on the role of cinema. People had been arriving all afternoon to take their places in front of a large screen. At 8 o'clock and the sun having just set, the movie 'Superman' started. It didn't matter that we'd all seen it loads of times, it was just great to be there with everyone else - to cheer and clap at memorable scenes and to find the funny moments even funnier with someone else to laugh with. We lasted half an hour standing at the back, straining to watch it over the heads of others and sought refuge in the restaurant at the edge of the park, still able to see the screen intermittently.
