I Like Central Park In June, How About You?

In spite of the thwarting by United Airlines, LS and I were able to enjoy a sun infused day in NYC.

First stop, was the Ernesto Neto installation at the Park Ave Armoury. The Armoury, once utilitarian as the name implies, has now been devoted to artistic endeavours. Since this was the final day of the exhibit, we were fortunate to get a glimpse.




"Anthro", that's the name of the exhibit, is ostensibly a tribute to the human form and how said form relates to the tactile world. As such, this 'new public space' is highly interactive:




I have to admit to being rather envious of some of most tactile portions of the exhibit, which were solely reserved for the less chronologically challenged amongst us.

Then it was off to an afternoon film at Lincoln Center, but wait! What was squarely in our path? If you guess the Puerto Rican Day Parade, you'd be right on! I should preface this by saying there is nothing remotely Puerto Rican about us either, but that does not mean we weren't able to partake in the festivities.





Then it was off to sip sangria, sample cheeses and celebrate LS' natal anniversary. I was so pleased to be able to share her day, and cannot help but think how fortunate I am to have such 'top drawer' friends. Today, off for a swim, a lunch and a trip to the UN.
