On Friday, we made it to NYC. Ploughing I-80 all the way, eleven hours total. Braving snow, gale force winds, seiches, mountains, trucks, salt trucks and wide loads along the way. When we arrived at Dan and Britt’s place all we were up for was delivered pizza. The next day though, we went out for brunch to Rolo’s. Good food! Then we took the train to Manhattan and then uptown to MoMA. High art of the modern variety. Pictured are Dan and Anne adding scale to Serra’s sculpture Equal. Each block is about six feet square, solid steel, weighing forty tons. That is a total of 320 tons of Corten steel sitting there.

Saturday night brought dinner at Phillip and Patty’s house. Always a treat. The place was decorated to the nines for Christmas, including a real tree with at least 10,000 lights. In addition to Britt’s parents, we dined on fine homemade Italian with her sister Clorinda and middle school friend Veronica.

Today featured brunch with Ashan, Allen and Elijah at Court Square Diner. Then another MoMA facility, PS1, a former public school, with its more edgy modern art. This museum was made better with Dan to interpret everything for us.

Tomorrow, we head to Boston.
