Yesterday was such a beautiful day - and today we had rain again. Luckily we had planned mostly indoor activities, so it was only going back and forth to the bus that we needed our umbrellas.
We met Don's brother, Fred, his wife, Angel, and their son (the one getting married in July), Christian, at the Bistro Chat Noir on 67th and Madison for lunch. On our way there we stopped to look at the massive metal sculptures on the median along Park Avenue. They are by artist Alexandre Arrechea. He created a version of several of the iconic buildings in New York - the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Courthouse, the Seagram Building, and others. There are 10 sculptures all together and we saw most of them - what fun - even in the rain!
After a lovely (if somewhat expensive) lunch we took the bus to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibit I was interested in closed yesterday, but we spent two or three hours looking at other works of art. The new exhibit is on Civil War paintings and photographs. What a sad time in our history. It is hard to find beauty in such miserable times, but some artists did, so we enjoyed seeing those paintings.
