Sara, Me, Zoe, Yoko and John

Early on Sunday morning we made our way to Strawberry Fiels in Central Park. We wanted to make sure we made it to the Imagine mosaic before it was covered in people. It was one of the most gorgeous mornings I've ever had, with the birds all chriping and the sun shinging down, and a Jamba juice slipping its way into my insides. In the picture below you can see Sara and Zoe sitting on a bench in front of the Dakota, which is right across the street from Central Park. John and Yoko Lennon lived in this apartment building starting in 1973. On December 8th, 1980 John was shot in the back four times as he was entering the building. He was pronounced dead on arrival that night, and the Dakota was soon saurrounded by thousands of mourners, who kept Yoko awake. She asked them all to leave for the night, but come back the next day. Over 100,000 people came back to mourn John's death. Imagine how many people that is! You could fill Miller Park 2.3 times. Yoko contributed one million dollars to Central Park so that a memorial could be built in John's honor. Countries from all over the world donated trees, plants and money to make the memorial gorgeous. The city of Naples, Italy contributed the famous "Imagine" mosaic as seen in the video above. Strawberry Fields is a beautiful piece of land, and a very good and solemn place to sit and remember John Lennon. I had always wanted to see the Dakota, New York is such a cool town! Yoko still lives in the Dakota, by the way.
