Beacon Hill
Boston Commons
Here's fruit on a weird tree in Cambridge-- any ideas what this is?
Petting zoo at Harvard commons-- a big hit!
Scenes from beautiful and atmospheric Mt Auburn cemetery in Cambridge
The George Washington monument at Mt Auburn
Atop the GW monument, opportunity to enjoy fear of heights AND claustrophobia! View is worth it, though
Huge trees were a theme of our visit-- few bigger than this beech at Mt Auburn
Next day: the Cambridge Carnival parade!
Took the train to NYC and stayed at this Airbnb apartment
Our Airbnb hosts-- lovely people
Saw the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit at MOMA
MOMA gawkers...
...the object of gawking, and selfies, naturally
On the way home from MOMA, via Times Square
Next day at the Metropolitan Museum
still at Met, column from Tiffany's home
A sprite from a Frank Lloyd Wright project
An entire Frank Lloyd Wright room at the Met!
Possibly our favorite gallery at the Met-- carvings from the South Pacific
Now some African art, starting with two carved ivory saltcellars
Leaving the Met, blissed out, cutting through Central Park
from Met to walking on the new High Line park, created from abandoned elevated train tracks
These are all scenes along the High Line at dusk
Next morning, to the Cloisters-- a Met museum to house a fantastic medieval art collection, plus gardens according to medieval plans
Our tour guide demonstrates pigment from the plant she's holding
Wonderful carvings galore
The museum is named for these Cloisters and their incredible stone carving
Some items from the "treasury" at the Cloisters
This exquisite book is only 2"x2"
Final stop: 9/11 Memorial. Beautiful, solemn fountains mark footprints of the former towers
The new tower rises above the memorial
