Brain full

So, yesterday, after exactly 35 minutes of sleep (3 weeks of spending a lot of time working at my desk finally caught up with my spine. Not good.), I got up at 4 AM to get ready to go to NYC.

Duchezz and I got to the Thruway lot to meet the Gage-mobile, and inadvertantly played "Fool the Earl" by bringing a car other than the one he was expecting.

I have always said that any kid in nyc even poor in the gheto is better exposed to culture than people almost anywhere. I grew up money poor but much better off than most because of it. And part of why I have worked on rural literacy and book giving programs.

Hon we live 15-30 mins from the cloisters depending on traffic, you both are more than welcome to come a stay with us, we can even just drop you off a few days in a row if you would like and then pick you up later so you can just wander. heck your welcome even if you dont want to go there.

I still haven't made it to the Cloisters, but I will get there one day.

I understand some of what you are saying. My family didn't travel to any of the cultural places. We visited grandparents and that was about it. I didn't even get to go on the school trips to DC and the like. I am making up for it now in bits and pieces.

The only thing that keeps me from being a completely uncultured clod is my love of reading and books.

Oh I think I know the exact way you were feeling. I've never been to the Cloisters (it's on our to do list) but I was lucky enough to spend a week in England

This is why I am determined to be touristy this trip :)

We are going to see at least one castle this weekend and all sorts of other good stuff.

Glad you had a great time at the Cloisters. I love all the stained glass and the gardens.
