We made another trip to the Big Apple today as a special celebration for my birthday. This time we rode the BoltBus directly from Philly to Penn Station. It was very comfortable and only took 2 hours. We had breakfast at a deli, then took the subway uptown,then a bus to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We spent several hours thoroughly enjoying the works of Monet, Renoir, Degas and Van Gogh. We also were intrigued by a special exhibit on musical instruments of Oceania. There were a variety of drums, flutes, shell trumpets and mouth harps taken from islands in the South Pacific. They were beautifully carved and had ceremonial as well as musical functions. We walked across Central Park, then got take-out from a wonderful deli and ate it in the Strawberry Fields section of the park. We returned home by 7:00 pm. It was a delightful day.
Belated birthday wishes. So happy you had such a glorious day. Easter blessing to you both, Mary Ann and Jay
