Playing tourist

We played tourist in New York City today, and the collage shows scenes from the day.

We started at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  WOW!  What a fantastic collection.  We could easily spend days there.  We just barely scratched the surface of all it has to offer.  We saw some magnificent Egyptian art and enjoyed a good part of the American art gallery.  We gazed on Asian treasures, and enjoyed the special exhibit "American Woman" on US fashion. 

We then caught a subway south and exited at Times Square.  We ate at Bubba Gumps for a late lunch, and were pleasantly surprised.  We were seated immediately, enjoyed great service, had a view overlooking the busyness of Times Square, and it was fairly reasonably priced, besides.

Once at Times Square, we made stops for everyone to see the Ferris wheel at ToysRUs.  Leaving ToysRUs, we caught the NY icon, that barely-dressed-singing-cowboy.  Whoa, cowboy!  We also stopped at M&M World, before heading back to 5th Avenue.

5th Avenue held something for everyone.  All the bling and sparkle of Tiffany's for the girls.  Life size replicas of basketball playing giants for the boy at the NBA Store.  And the virtually mecca of the Apple Store for the man. 

Enough for a day of playing tourist!
Well... maybe one more tomorrow...
