UPTOWN/MUSEUM MILE

Major Museum Day
We started the day by going on the subway to Alice's Tea Cup for a delicious breakfast.
One lesson learned - some times it is faster to go downtown to go uptown, which we managed to do - all so that we could ride the A train to get to the Cloisters. When we "do" museums we really "do" them right. Then we took a bus/subway/bus to the Lexington Candy Shop (an old fashioned soda shop). yummy. We walked to the Guggenheim. We were not allowed to take photographs inside but we sure enjoyed the special exhibit of Kandinsky. Then we walked to The Met. WOW. Is there another word?! We picked one small corner to wander through - even that took 3 hours. At least here we were allowed to take pictures. Taxi home but we were not home long. We went to a close Thai food place for dinner then a little grocery shopping for breakfast. Then home to relax. Only rained briefly when we were leaving the Cloisters (luckily Kris had just bought an umbrella).

The Guggenheim - no pictures allowed inside

Picasso's "Gertrude Stein" at the Met. So many pictures so hard to choose.

    You all plan such interesting vacations, you could go into business as specialized tour guides.

    I agree with Pam, you could pay for the trips you take with the amount of work that you put into it. Somebody else suggested some travel mags would be interested also.
    The pictures are great. I can't wait to see the entire collection.
