Phew! Last week was incredible! I am still recovering from all of that walking... but who cares?! I was in New York City!! Again I stayed with friends, and it was incredible.
Day 1:The first day of my second NYC visit, we all headed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I must admit, these past four years it has been one of my dreams to go to the Met Museum once again (I had gone once in sixth grade and didn't remember much from my adolescent experience). What always made me want to go back was my favorite necklace my mom bought for me at the Met so long ago. Ever since then I've been obsessed with the necklace as well as all Egyptian Eyes of Rah. Anyhoo, the experience was replenishing, interesting, but most of all fun!
