DAY OFF & MUSEUM

Madison Square Park and Metropolitan Museum of Art

 

Yesterday was a relaxing day that included resting, sunning, walking, and eating.  Carolyn wanted me to take some pictures of the cherry blossoms at Madison Square Park.

 

I exercised, rested on the terrace, walked to Madison Square, ate a Lamb Gyro, took the pictures, and walked home.

 

Today Carolyn and I rode the bus to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see a Members Preview of Charles James: Beyond Fashion.  Amazingly, as we crossed the street to enter the museum a voice behind us said, "I know the two of you."

 

That changed everything.  We enjoyed lunch and enjoyed spending time with a dear friend.

Cherry blossoms at Madison Square Park.  Just behind the tree in buildings lining the north side of the park is where Chelsea Clinton lives.

 

The buildings on the east side of the park house 11 Madison, just declared the 4th best restaurant in the world and the highest ranking restaurant in the USA.

 

One of the buildings lining the south side of the park houses the condominium that Rupert Murdock just bought for 47 milliion.
