Going Places?
Ok maybe not that exotic, but we did take a trip to the Museum of Natural History!
Just in time for the end of the world too.
According to the Aztecs.
Hundred of carats of diamonds right there.
Below is a Chinese wedding carriage.
Amazing!
It was Cinco de Mayo, so we got fabulous Mexican food
(yes, I did call Mexican food in New York fabulous. Just the one place.)
at the cute place on the west side of Central Park.
And then the other BYU interns and I took a tour of The New York Times!
It was surprisingly quiet in there.
Gone are the days of shouting over cubicles and typewriters and papers flying.
Sorry Woodward and Bernstein.
They did have this incredible wall of data.
Steaming incessant data, all the time, on these little screens.
Random bits of data, like a comment on the NYTimes website or a note taken for a story.
They told us you could look at it all day and not get an early scoop on something.
Didn't stop us from taking a peek.
And how 'bout them Yankees?
We watched them dominate the Tampa Bay Rays on a (chilly!) Thursday evening.
It was a low-scoring game,
(I think the final was 5-2?)
but it was great being in the stands, singing along with the organ,
and shouting for joy when we hit a home run.
I laughed so hard I cried after I saw that picture.
We took some normal ones, not to worry.
Oh! And this is jumping ahead - but just yesterday Miriam and I saw these guys playing in the subway.
They're good.
Max there is on the hammered dulcimer.
Their website says they're a 3 person earth-music band who have traveled overseas to train with the experts on their instruments.
They were so impressive!
I bought their CD.
Take a listen on their website: www.houseofwaters.com
Nice and peaceful.
A break from the car horns and sirens outside my window.
Enjoy!
