Day Three in New York

1. The train near our hotel is above ground and the station is old and
grimy , but it has gorgeous stained glass windows!

2. The Guggenheim museum is an amazing structure. We walked around the
giant spiral and saw everything. I love smaller museums because it is
possible to see it all!

3. We had a delicious lunch at a local deli. It was pricey ($7 for a
small frozen yogurt) and packed with locals.

4. Our last ditch effort to get tickets to a Shakespeare play failed.
I'm really disappointed.

5. We took a walk through Central Park and saw lots of kids with their nannies.

6. The New York Public library is incredible! We said hello to the
lions on the way in and headed up to the reading room. It was quiet
and cool. Ahhh! John found us some great books to read. His was
about death-bed quotes!

We also saw some amazing works on display: the Guttenberg bible, a
quarto of King Lear and a copy of the Star Spangled banner from 1814.

7. Just around the corner at Bryant Park we enjoyed an outdoor
concert. Thankfully it had cooled off a bit.

8. Dinner was at a chic and trendy Thai restaurant. Although we are
neither chic, nor trendy, the food was fantastic!
