No, it's not mine (I wish). This fortress stands on the northwest corner of Governor's Island, guarding the harbor where the East River merges with the Hudson to form New York Harbor off the southern end of Manhatten. Castle Williams once bristled with over 100 cannon, and was known as "the cheese box" because its round outline resembles an enormous hoop cheese sitting astride the island. It's not open to the public yet. Oh well, incentive to come back (as if I needed more).
In the far right of the picture you can see most of the bike(s) we rented. I toss in the (s) because we rented one of those deals where the kid rides on an attachment on the back of the adult's bike (can't quite see it in the pic). Talk about UNSTAAAABLE! We nearly busted it more times than I can count before we got used to it, and ended up having a great time riding, literally, all over the island.
