I've remembered to do a blog!
So today was cold and rainy so my dad and I (and my mom too) drove up Martin Luther King Blvd through Rockefeller park and looked at all the cultural gardens along the road. Some of them were beautiful, especially the Hungarian one. Can you insert pictures on this thing?... apparently you can. So, that's the Hungarian cultural garden. There are at least 30 gardens all spread out through Rockefeller park. We drove all the way northward where it ends and there is the Rockefeller Park Greenhouse, which is like an older botanical gardens. It almost felt like a lesser Kensington Palace garden or something - gazebos and statues and benches with cut grass and tulips everywhere. Unfortunately there was a middle school field trip here so there were a bunch of kids running around with clipboards looking for the Helen Keller statue. They kept screaming, "Hellen Keller, where are you?" and I wanted to say back, "She can't hear you, she's deaf."
From there we drove over, up Superior, to Forest Hill Park which is right on the border of East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights. It was once the site of Rockefeller's home before in burned to the ground in 1917. Now it's a pretty big park with a lake and a baseball field or two. The interesting part was when we were driving there you could literally see in front of you this giant hill on the horizon which was the heights of Cleveland - Shaker, Cleveland, University, Richmond, etc. - all rising before us as we drove out of Cleveland.
