Eastside part 2

The Met(bb326)
The Met is enormous and and breathtaking . I think if I went every day for a  year I still sould not see the whole thing. Don took us t see Richarrd Serra. Richard Serra did things on wood and metal and he aslo did drawins and sulpture.


My favorite was panstick  on Hiromi paperThe things he does are  huge He did that on purpose so his paintings could be displayed at a museum. We saw imprssionists these are a few of my favoritesClark ,Monet Pissaro. Vincent Van Gough the picture of the shoes simplistic  lines and color.
 Gogan and his women of Tahiti
Alice and wonder land is a 11 foot stature created by Jose de Creet. It was deticated by a man named Delacorte for his wife.
Central Park's boatpond at the south east corner of the pond is a surreal place It instantly gives you a feeling of peace and quiet.

Walking up toCentral park west72nd st is Strawberry feilds to honor John Lennon It was my fiest time .The mosaic center in cement was a gift from Naples Italy.I didn't relize how many places you could fond in N.Y that are quiet and peaceful away from the noise of the streets.


 Dakota(bb19) Apartments were John Lennon was shot where Yoko still resides. This was once owned by a man named Edward S. Clark  Singer sewing machine heir.This land was surrounded by shanties and empty lots. Its was nicknamed Clark's folly so far out that it might as well be in Dakota Territory! so the architect decorated ears of corn and arrow heads and an Indian head at the main gateway.I think the apartments are beautiful and something Ill never forget.Fence railing were decorated with sea monsters and heads of Poseidon.(bb414)
The shopping on Fifth ave Tiffany's FAO Swartz is the most expensive in the world.It really made you feel part of the city. Window shopping in New York City.
New York Public Library is the third larges library and most important a research library with both global and local issues.It is privately managed and a non profit organization with a public mission. @lions guard the the library called patience and fortitude named by mayor LaGuardia..
