reviews_and_ramblingsEven if it doesn't seem from the picture, I'm in New York ;-) But I decided to visit two places I haven't had the chance to see 9 years ago when I was there: the Morris Jumel Mansion, a Palladio inspiration villa that when was built was a country house and that now resides in Uptown Manhattan and that is actually the oldest home in the island; more it's also a museum since 1904 and it has the one of the best characteristic for me, it's totally avoided by tourists! After that I went to visit The Cloisters; I know that they are not the original cloisters I love so much, but it's actually a very beautiful museum if you love Middle Ages and that type of architecture... I do. After that, the afternoon was spent wandering the town and doing shopping. In the meanwhile I also learned that, when I will be back home, I will have to go to Dublin the week after, and as soon as I will obtain the Visa in Russia, both time for work... September and October seem to be very busy time for me.

In the upstairs bedroom Mme. Jumel constantly scolds her maid, in French!
Hope you are enjoying your stay here. I doubt I could keep up with you, even if my legs weren't broken. I'm getting better, though.
Keep the photos coming. You have a good eye, sweetie!
