3. LOL
I wish it were my pool. It's the pool in the Temple of Dendor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

13. A very sweet comment, and I thank you.
Come any time, you can roam, or you can help.

11. A neat workshop is a workshop that is never used.

9. Yeah, cause like
you live there! :rofl: We tourists probably screw up a lot of spelling. I think I got "Metropolitan" right though? ;-)

I almost feel like a local. I know to catch the 2 (express) from Penn Station and get off at 72nd to get to my kid's place.

And... And, I WALKED from his apt (69th St.) to the Met across Central Park - and back. I am so impressed with my NYC navigational skills. (But my feet did hurt afterwards.)

10. But I knew because I've taken that shot myself.
Plenty of people live here and never go in the Met. That's an impressive hike and I'm even more impressed by your navigation through the park. It's not easy to keep your bearings on the winding roads.

15. How could anyone NOT go to the Met??
I spent 5 hours there and still didn't see entire wings of it. Saw the Picasso show, the French deco show, the American Woman show, the Bambu on the roofinstallation ,King Tut's burial show and a whole lot more. It's an amazing place and I try to go everytime I get to NYC. This time managed to hit both the Met and the Guggenheim. Last time we went to the MOMA... On a Saturday... when it was raining. I think everyone else in NYC had the same idea. Not the most opportune time to be viewing art.

We've wonderful museums in SF but the Met just blows me away. Worth the walk, even in the heat.

17. There are people living in Lower Manhattan...
who pride themselves on never traveling above 14th Street. There are many in the outer boroughs who rarely come into the "city".

12. Just clowning around, having fun.
If I could enter one, I think it would be the one with the shopping carts at Target. I posted it earlier somewhere.
Are you getting excited?
I'll be choosing the threads with the random generator, so there's not telling how they will group.
