We rushed past most of Egypt to join a tour... hmm... is that the book of the dead? (yes, it was... *bows*, see, I DID pay attention during my archaeology classes on ancient Egypt)
I was not particularly fond of most of the art from the formative years of the US... but the rooms were very nice indeed.
Tuning the cymbals... getting ready for some pretty sweet tambourine riffs.
Lily did French at school... no, it seems that the ancient Egyptians didn't write in French... darn.
Mummification does a surprisingly good job of preserving... stuff.
As all good mueums of art should have... a room full of statues.
The rooms were works of art in themselves... if I ever live in a very very large house, I want at least one room that looks like this.
People are the same everywhere... but fountains are not.
The level of detail was, at times, astounding.
this is a painting - these are in no short supply in the Met.
This s a painting of an ear... and other stuff.
close up... we see there is much more to this ear than meets the eye.
There are even one or two paintings by some Spanish fellow named Picasso...
A Badger... no... actually, this is a very thin Cat.
Yet another magnificent room in the Met
$2 Hot dogs... mmmmm
The absurd queue for last-minute cheap broadway tickets... the group split. Some of us went to see "Rent", I had already seen Rent, so I went to see "Cyrano de Bergerac" which featured Kevin Klein and Jennifer Garner, who was surprisingly good... and she wasn't bad at acting either.
Everywhere we went, there were scary people dressed up as characters from children's TV shows.
Us? Tourists? Nevar... a lovely posed shot with a member of the NYPD
Does this seem strange to anyone else?
This was the queue to get into the Guggenheim museum... ugh
That Frank Lloyd Wright guy sure knows what he's doing when it comes to architecture.
The idea is to go right up to the top via elevator, then slowly spiral down through the exhibits until you get to the bottom.
It was a very busy day... like most days in New York.
Even the Cafe was wonderfully decorated with photographs.
...can you tell that I like the architecture of the building?
Sunset over central park, taken from just outside the Guggenheim
...and in the capital of capitalism, we just *had* to buy stuff at the gift shop.
After the Guggenheim, we skipped across central park and found ourselves a nice Thai restaurant called "Land" which was recommended by a friend...
...and there was much rejoycing... and eating.. mmm... eating.
