That, my friends, is an outdoor ping-pong table. It is in the park across the street from us, and it is 100% concrete. Margaret bought me a set of paddles and balls for my birthday, and we go play a few times a week now. It's light enough out to play till almost 10 PM.
As you can probably imagine, wind has a huge effect in outdoor ping-pong. You definitely want to be hitting upwind- you can hit it as hard as you want and it lands in. Even more fun is having a concrete net. You can have little games with yourself if you want, and all sorts of sweet bounces 10 feet in the air if you hit the top of the net.
It's a pretty delightful way to make up for being in a tiny apartment. I'll miss our outdoor table when we go home.
July 25th... it's on!
