Saturday afternoon Stephanie, Mary and I visited the Cloisters. I'm amazed at how much it reminds me of monasteries I visited in Tuscany. It took me two years to make it up here, and I promise to make a yearly pilgrimage to this landmark. Yes, I exaggerate when I call the trip a pilgrimage. But have you seen how far 190th St. in Manhattan is from my Brooklyn apartment? A good 2 hour ride on the subway, minimum.
