The Metropolitan Museum of Art

October 6, 2011
                
             

Oh how I love the Met!                 
This was my second visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it was even better than the first! It's
impossible to see everything that this museum has to offer in one trip, which is why I had to come back for another adventure through its collections. But I have to say, my favorite part of the Met will always be its Greek and Roman art galleries (this coming from someone who was a classics major in college, haha). If you're a museum-lover like me, then you have to visit the Met at least once in you're lifetime. Trust me, it's an amazing experience.

Remembering 9/11

October 3, 2011

I was in New York last weeWhile k, I had the privilege of visiting the new 9/11 Memorial in lower 
Manhattan. It was definitely an emotional experience to be standing in the spot where the Twin Towers once stood. I think that I view 9/11 a little differently now that I've actually visited this city and met some of its wonderful people. 
To all of those who lost their lives on that day, you will never be forgotten.

Storm King

October 1, 2011
I don't even know how to begin to describe the epicness that is Storm King. This art center is made up of 500 acres (!) of landscaped hills, forest pathways, and larger-than-life art installations. I can't believe I was there just 4 days ago! After taking a quick tram tour of the grounds, I rented a bicycle and spent the rest of the day peddling through meadows, racing down hillsides, and exploring all sorts of nature trails (with my camera handy, of course). I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences that I've ever had!
