US.XI.
Coney Island is an amusement park on the Atlantic Ocean. It is located in southern Brooklyn, New York, USA. I have been going there since the late nineties and it is a large part of my relationship with New York City in general. It is a wonderful place and I really like going there in the dead of winter. One time I went there in the dead of winter with a girlfriend of mine and there was this guy doing spiritual exercises near the ocean in the driving wind in just his bikini bottoms. I have never forgotten about that guy. He just seemed so peaceful. It is a really important place to me because cities have a tendency to quickly break me down mentally and physically. And I always know that if I can just get to a subway [underground train] stop I can get there no problem. And breathe in the salt air and look at the infinite horizon of the ocean. Just find the N or Q or F or D and they will take you right there. And if you get confused just ask around. Its cool.
