After the tour at the MET - Downtown Manhattan and Yankee Stadium

So after the wonderful tour, we were all raring to go back into the MET and do more museum'g but after we had a hotdog and actually sat down for a bit, we realized that our feet needed a rest. So we headed back to the train, we were all really exhausted. But we opted to take the 4 to Yankee Stadium to see the digs. (Atom mentioned the HK store in Grand Central- we never got to go there tho so sad)

We did decide to stop downtown so Mom could take pictures in front of the work buildings that she worked at. That was a great idea because we were able to meet Barrie (he is a street vendor on B'way and we ended up having a very spiritual conversation with him, placing my personal copy of the new Jeremiah book, the September Awake! on loneliness and finding out that 2 of his 4 daughers were witnesses and his youngest was studying! It was great! He was awesome!

The MET Tour; The Woman and the Seed

The Metropolitan Museum of Art. A most gorgeous building and landmark in NYC. It borders Central Park and is on 5th Avenue (The Avenue of Museums) Just a few blocks from the 86th/Lexington Avenue trains (4,5,6) it's pristine to walk to and each morning the steps are thoroughly washed.


incredible shot of the front of the MET with NOONE ...so sweet

False dooway to a tomb, the priests would put food outside the doorway for the dead and that little window was there for them to look in.
Tomb of Meketre
This tomb held small figurines of daily life...i dunno for the dead to play with or what???






a sarcophocaus


See those little circles above those figures?? That means they are divine and the circles are called solar discs (where halo's came from) These were all pre-christian






























































































































There are somethings that I like to do other than shopping - taking pictures. The beauty of picture taking is that it really is all up to me. Sometimes it's of things and other times it's of me and friends. Old Friends, New Friends and a sprinkling of family for good measure...
