Have spent hours at the Natural history museum - incredible and the Met - also beyond words, it's so enormous, so well conceived and just brilliant.
Guggenheim - an interesting exhibition of Richard Prince of whom I had not heard but had seen some of his stuff. Interesting article in this week's New Yorker about the exhibit and his work generally.
Among the things I cannot get to are - elie Wiesel lecturing on the Akedah, a klezmer-type parade in Chinatown, and a few other things.............there is just so much on offer. However, there's always another trip to plan, although Wiesel might not be a repeat performance!
Off to visit two schools today, earn my leave! Seattle on Tuesday and then home.
Weather is cooling down a bit now, thank goodness, but I did have to buy an umbrella - reckon it will be good in Seattle!
Hordes of dogs everywhere but no dog poop - NZ owners take note! everyone cleans up after their dogs.
Where I am staying, on the very nice upper East side, there are hordes of homeless people sleeping on the steps of the church on the corner of the street I am on. Unexpected in this area, but maybe that's all part of the general thing.
Full of contrasts, full of surprises.
