Come on ride the Train!!!!!

I never realized the mass amounts of trains which Main encompassed. As most adventures went on this trip, it was a quick and sudden pull off the road when something caught our eye (which took a few times mastering considering driving isn't one of my daily practices.) This day we came across the Trolley museum with old and abandoned trains, buses, and locomotives.

A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM

With needed inspiration for Spring, and a little personal inspiration needed from this never-ending Winter, I decided to check out the new exhibits at the  FIT Fashion Museum. Since the 70's were making a full swing around for Spring, there's no one else besides Halston and Yves Saint Laurent to put you in the mood. Also showing was an exhibit of Lauren Bacall and "Faking it," an exhibit displaying counterfeits against the originals.

The Cloisters

It seems like a fairy-tale, or perhaps just a little deja-vu, when you embark onto a place in which you've seen in your dreams. Taking the 'A' train uptown & surviving a bunch of club kids headed to the Electric Daisy festival, we began the journey through the trees, through winding paths and countless steps, to this unforeseen place (as in an episode of Game of Thrones where your sidekick Siri and Google Maps are of no help). The effort was well worth the journey, and the exhilaration of reaching the top followed by being greeted with this magnificent structure, the Cloister Museum. With its art and architecture devoted to medieval Europe, the museum incorporates 5 European abbeys which were dissembled and brought to NYC and reconstructed by Charles Collins as an extension to the Met Museum. The gardens surrounding the museum brings great solitude and balance to the architectural elements. This is what we saw...
