NW YRK

    I spent this past weekend in New York City. I have never seen so many people in my life. It was a very exciting experience. I really enjoyed the culture like the architecture, art, taxis, people, and food. Just when I was beginning to think that there was not another good meal out there I discovered that New York food is better than anything I have ever tasted. I know this sounds nasty but its true, I literally ate my way from the south end of Manhattan to the north end, while managing to get in there lots of little diners and cafes on the upper east and west sides. I would have to say the two most exciting events were the Rembrandt collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and watching the first group of runners near the finish during the New York Marathon. Well here are some pictures they aren't the greatest but they kind of get the point across.

    Thats me hugging one of my favorite bad things, ice cream.
  Van Gogh had some pretty psychedelic brush strokes
 I indulged, yet justified it by the three mile walk I took to get there
Central Park
   Times Square
 They say Beyonce has an apartment in the left tower.
The Dakota, this is right where John Lennon was assassinated. Yoko Ono still lives in an apartment here. A few weeks prior she came out on her balcony and waved to the people on the streets. I was sort of hoping she would do the same when I was there, but no luck.
    A theater in Harlem where many famous people performed including Michael Jackson
Well look past the traffic light, the church is Seventh-Day Adventist, I had never seen an Adventist church quite like this one.
This is a mosque in Harlem which was started by Malcolm X. 

       If anyone ever wants someone to go with them to New York give me a call.

  1. Oh wow I am so jealous! That would be so much fun! And Yoko Ono waving at me? I would be tickled! Gosh. And the Haagen Dazs? I'm right there with you sister! I love the texture of the Van Gogh painting, so inspiring. I hate mimicking other artists' styles, but this is justifiable. It is truly epic.
