Description
New York Bocce Volo - Richard Reeve
Visiting New York City on an unseasonably warm day in early February I was surprised to see a group of gentlemen playing a game of boules in Bryant Park. When I first played this back in the South of France in the 1970's the version we played was petanque, but I believe the likely variant here will be the Italian game, bocce volo.
These guys were good, clearly having played for years.

Richard Reeve replied:
Thank you, Meg. These older gentlemen were having a quiet but enjoyable time. It's strange because it was a cold February day in NYC and just seeing them play in the gravel park took me back to the late 1970's and the holidays in the South of France where the locals played petanque, their version of boules, in the warm evenings... plus ca change, as they say, I guess...
