It has all gone rather quickly - today I just have to get to MOMA, and am also probably going up the Chrysler building (not the usual tourist stuff, my host has his office on the top floor there!)
Have now seen a bit of New Jersey - not at all what I expected. Thought of the turnpike and the Sopranos, and industry, instead of which i got dormitory suburbs full of trees and ENORMOUS houses, and squirrels everywhere. Remarkably pretty area, at least the bits I saw. View from the other side of the Hudson of the NY skyline at dusk is great, sure my photos won't do it justice.
Have been now to a lot of the places I wanted to get to, still not the Cloisters but I reckon having just come from France it is not quite so important to do that.
Way more important to hear my nephew play! really good trio he played with on Saturday night, piano, drums and bass (Aaron). Mostly original music by the pianist, really good jazz. Hope they do a CD sometime soon....
Heading for Seattle and the IB conference tomorrow. More days in Seattle than planned, travel arrangement glitch, but not to worry. Will be pleased to be home, it's been a long trip.
Will post again from seattle unless something really staggering happens today!
