Hi everyone
No snow yet, but it's promised (50% chance) for Monday. Liz and I went to another show the night before last, called Rock of Ages. It's based on rock music from the early 1980's. We had seats 3 rows from the front. The music was played by a live band. Yesterday we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We took a couple of buses to get there. Hard to say that you've ever "seen" the Met with several million exhibits. About a dozen or so rooms just with Egyptian artifacts, and another dozen with grand master paintings. Every major theme seemed to cover about an acre! We wandered around for about 4 hours before flagging.
We strolled back through Central Park and window shopped back to Michelle's flat. It was another sunny, cold day. Last night we joined Michelle and her friend Liz to go to the Christmas show put on by the Radio City Rockettes, the annual Radio city Music Hall Christmas Spectacular. This was an "extravaganza" - the nativity scene had real live sheep, 2 camels and a donkey! The hall is huge and seats about 3000.
We have been to the Natural History Museum also. It has some great exhibits, particularly the bits on the origin of man and dinosaurs. However I thought most of it was a bit dated. Just the job for Peter Jackson and Weta workshops to do a makeover and zazz it up!
Michelle had a party at her place last night and invited 25 or so - which didn't finish till well after midnight. Caught up with all her friends. Didn't get to bed till after 2am. And this morning got up at at 10.47am! Great to be able to sleep in.
