It’s fascinating to see the ever-changing arrangements, flowers, and tributes erected here.

Even when it’s freezing out in mid-February, Central Park was worth visiting!

The color collection exhibit was going on—who knww monochromatic paintings could be so interesting?

Definitely one of my favorite museums of all time. Love the giant Monet!

I held my grandfather’s hand as he teared up watching Pope John Paul speak. We went for his 75th birthday.

Pleasant atmosphere, good coffee, friendly service and plenty of room to chat up friends (or the cute guy sitting nearby).

I didn’t bother with a map and just wandered around taking it all in. Visiting on a rainy weekend morning was a mistake but I still got a chance to see everything. . . just had to be a little more patient. Klimt’s “Girl in White” was one of my favorite finds but the design/architecture section was surprisingly interesting as well.

check out the Laden Showroom, Rokit, and the little ethnic shops along the way.

this picture is some graffiti right near brick lane:

books and dessert abound, what else could you want?

Do not go here on weekend afternoons unless you like feeling like you will die of stampede at any moment. Topshop was fantastic though!

I’ve been to the Tower of London a couple of times now and it’s still awe-inspiring each and every time. Beefeater tours are awesome but exploring nooks and crannies on your own is what makes it worth the trip.
