I think my last post left off as I was visiting the Frick museum. There are many interesting places around there on 5th Avenue. including the busy busy Met. I happened to see one of my first magnolia buds... past the Guggenheim again and had a welcome break at the Episcopal Church of The Heavenly Rest. Where there was a choir rehearsing (wonderful).
