Hi friends who visit here, I'm back from my trip to Boston and New York! I had an unbelievably wonderful time because of my good friend Ronda who planned it all, 7 museums (
Boston Museum of Fine Art,
Frick Collection,
MoMA,
American Folk Art Museum,
Whitney Museum of American Art,
Brooklyn Museum,
Asia Society) 5 concerts (
Yo-Yo Ma x3,
Chris Thile,
Elvis Costello) 1.5 plays (half of Tarzan, we left, it was that bad and
Faith Healer), much good food (
Telepan and
Azure) 1 garden (
Brooklyn Botanic Gardens), seeing two friends (Hi Maryann and
Amanda, great to meet you Dede!) plus a bit of shopping in between. Phew, I'm exhausted!
Some pages from my travel sketchbook, the hotel room in Boston, a pre-concert talk on
John Adams at Lincoln Center, and a sketch of the symphony as they played "
Naive and Sentimental Music" by John Adams, I loved it!
added 5/17: Hi all, many thanks for all the welcome backs! Still in recovery from this trip, I may have overdone just a bit! Please forgive if my responses will be slow in coming, trying to catch up on what sleep I missed, 'night all!
