No slouching. Simple breakfast while girls next table played patty cake (video). Then,
up and out to a walk across Central Park and to Met. Cool Mosaics in the subway (Pics 2 and 3). Sculptures along the way (Pic 5). On Exhibit: Raphael and Japanese Ceramics.
The Met is huge! See Pic 1. Just navigating is a labor of love.
The Raphael was an extensive exhibit much enhanced by the free audio app and much diminished by those who just stand in front of each item, take a picture and then move on - without looking at the painting or drawing! So sad.
I did not become a Raphael convert, as suggested by the curators, but then again it took them 8 years to organize and prepare the exhibit.
The Japanese Ceramics exhibit was bite sized small but wonderful. (Pics 10 -14).
Finally, onto Andrew's New York City Diner for a classic all day breakfast.
Last Pic. You may have heard that NYC has a pigeon problem. Here is the proof!Read more
