Monday in New York

[sartorias]

I went up to see The Cloisters, something I have wanted to do for years, but either time or weather prevented it. Yesterday was perfect weather, clear, mid fifties, just right for a long walk through the beautiful garden (which is still very summery) and then a stroll through the rooms of the museum, which is a medieval to Renaissance collection

Oh beautiful!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

That annunciation is one of my favorites. You're right: I really should go back. I should take my family.

[sartorias]

Oh, yes. The kids are old enough to appreciate everything there.

Sometimes they have music. We visited once, back in the 70s, and they had a Renaissance group playing. Lute and recorders and a couple of viol-type things, with voices.

Oh, that would have been splendid!
