Vashon to Manhattan



Four country mice were spotted wandering cluelessly in midtown last week, including these three in the Rockefeller Center.  "There sure are a lot of people on this island," one was heard to remark.  Well, duh, it was the busiest week of the year and they went to all the touristy spots, like - 
Times Square and Broadway, where they were able to sneak into both A Chorus Line and Wicked, by cleverly agreeing to pay exorbitant prices.  The museums were jammed, which didn't stop them from admiring the old bones at the Natural History Museum, the impressionist's work at the Metropolitan and some of the more creative work at MOMA.

Frances discovered the answer to the puzzle of all of those headless sculptures in Greece - they're all at the Metropolitan in NYC!  Stolen fair and square.

Shopping was a big attraction, both at legitimate stores like Tiffany's and Bergdorfs:

and with the less established houses just off Fifth Avenue.

The view from the borrowed apartment wasn't half bad.

Now we're back on-island, with our perspective of the world rearranged.  Isn't that the point of going places?  Happy New Year to all!
