Tuesday we took a double-decker tour bus of uptown NYC. Our tour guide was very, um, interesting. We got impassioned speeches about rent control apartments, flipping the bird, and "Hot Latino Man," (a guy on the tour route who leans out his fourth-floor window and blows kisses to the bus).
We stopped in front of the Museum of Natural History (Night at the Museum) and met my Aunt Evie and Uncle Dick, who are serving a mission at the NYC Temple and Family History Center. They treated us to the Shake Shack (YUM!) and then we walked about 10 blocks down to the temple.
This building houses the entrance to the temple and the family history center on the main floor, the temple on the next floor, and the meeting chapel above that.
It was small, but beautiful and peaceful.
Here's the temple from the outside, right in the midst of high rises. My Aunt says the Church owns the buildings around the temple.
We stopped at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This is an enormous Jackson Pollock. What do you think of this kind of art? I love it. I don't pretend to have some deep understanding of it; I just think it's pretty and fun to look at.
Tuesday night was Mary Poppins on Broadway! It was a good show, especially the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" number.
