The Met

On Friday we decided to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ross had declared that he could spend an entire day there, but we had another leisurely morning and decided to make a stop on the way at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine - the largest gothic cathedral in the WORLD. Yes, the entire world.

Pictures to follow. I have seen other amazing cathedrals, but this is something else. The size is so jaw-dropping. The columns soar to such a height. The space is really so vast that words fail me. The description in the Rough Guide to New York says that Notre Dame and Chartres would both fit inside this cathedral.

So then we hopped the train down to Central Park and had a lovely walk across to the Met. Then hours of gaping at astounding art. Feet got tired. Brain got overwhelmed. Camera got a workout.

Then an expedition to get to our dinner place - a very nice organic healthy restaurant where we enjoyed good food with vegetables, and lovely martinis. Then some evening walking in the rain in order to get back to the subway.
