I didn't really wake up yesterday because I didn't really get to sleep the night before. Hard to do that on a plane. So whenever the day started Greg and I were up and headed to our friend's house in Hoboken- a charming little area of New Jersey.
There was some time for naps and snacks and then to the City we go! we go!
I found it amusing that we left a sunny and 90 degree Seattle to come to a cool and rainy NY, and also that New Yorkers actually use umbrellas. I had never thought about the fact that the umbrella is almost a symbol of Seattle and yet everyone there (including greg and myself) use rain jackets. I spent a lot of the day dodging spokes!
Today was a free day for the MoMA. Duchamp, Miro, Picasso, Matisse, Warhol, Beuys, Hesse, Morris (Robert,) Rauschenberg and so many other of my friends! Cornell and Redon were some of my favorites and I was introduced to Leon Ferrari for the first time.
WoW!
What more can I say?
Today- we will walk as far as possible and maybe find the places my sister has suggested in her comment.
It's not too late to leave instructions for me if you have not already, tell me what I should do in this town!
