Well, it wasn't all walking - we took the train there and back and rode the E-line up and down Manhattan. But there was still lots of "pounding the pavement" as we navigated streets and avenues to our selected destinations -
First to the Frick Museum to see masterpieces of Dutch painting from the Mauritshuis. Lots of people there -- and only two people taking admissions fees, so long lines to get in (see Facebook). But the paintings and the rest of the museum were well worth seeing.
Dinner, then up to the Ambassador's theater to see Chicago -- a full house by showtime even though it's been running for 17 years. A great song-and-dance show; glad we've finally seen it.
Back to our hotel close to Penn station, and the view from the roof before turning in.
Wednesday, the MoMA was first on the agenda. The Magritte exhibition (no photography allowed) was the draw for us - and for lots of others, but here there were lots of people taking admissions. We toured several other galleries.
As is our custom, we had lunch here before heading downtown to the 911 Memorial.
Too bad the Museum (back right in photo below) is open yet - I wonder when - if ever - it will be.
By now my right ankle was saying "enough", so we took a mid-afternoon train back to New London.
A good couple of days, and proof that I'm mobile again!
Glad you are back on the move! How long till you aren't in any one residence for more than 2 weeks?
