A Beautiful Day at the Cloisters

Today marked our last art adventure. Kathy met us at the hotel and after our usual pep talk, we ventured uptown.

Our destination: 190th Street and the Cloisters.

The Cloisters is actually an extension of the Met and holds a collection of art and architecture from medieval Europe. Around the area is a really nice park. The group explored some walking trails and had a picnic lunch. Everyone was getting along really well and it was such a beautiful day outside, everyone couldn't help but be happy.

Then it was into the museum. There were some beautiful tapestries and Christian relics. It reminded me a lot of museums, castles, and cathedrals I have been to in France. With the high vaulted ceilings and stone walls and pillars, I just wanted to be back in France, visiting castles and learning about the kings that once lived there.

Kathy let us off the hook today for responses; as long as we chatted with her about a piece, we didn't need to write a response. Gives me time to get in those final moments in the city and finish up our final projects (more on that later).

I'll add more photos when I nab them from other group members.
