NYC, Part two...

Continuing the saga...I had one whole day to myself in the city, and although I would LOVE to say that I got up early, read the paper, had my coffee, and was out and about early in the morning, anyone who knows me would understand that was just a flat out lie. I slept in till 10:30, had a yummy fresh croissant and latte from the cafe downstairs, then shopped for about 4 hours straight. THEN, I got to spend a few hours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That is truly an amazing place. To think that in one building you can see Celtic jewelry from a thousand years ago, pieces of an actual roman temple, 15 foot high buddahs, and original Van Gogh paintings. And that was about 4 rooms worth. There's three floors in the place! I could have spent the five days just in there, but I guess that's a good excuse to go back. I'll post some pics of just a FEW of my favorite finds. More to come!
