Water on the Go, in Herald Square

Photo by myself in Washington Square Park, in the Village.

Public water fountains with multiple spigots are on the street, advertising 'NYC Water-on-the-Go'. The fountains are fed with New York City tap water.

The City-run program is educates people about our tap water, which is incredibly clean. Usage of plastic bottles is reduced as a result.

-- Well folks, my fiance and I are off once again to Japan, Monday morning. We'll be going to Tokyo, Fukuoka and Kyoto. I won't be back in New York til September (!).

I'm not used to traveling so often. I found myself nostalgic about New York before I even left. We've been having gorgeous weather here, this past week.

It's a long flight to Tokyo, and we are flying direct. We'll get there Tuesday afternoon, New York time. Photos and posts will continue here, as usual.
