Sunday Memory

I met up with an old friend on Sunday - Shanna Banana! (Her name is not really "banana" but I guess you already know that...) Well, I hadn't seen her in about 6 years, so we had fun catching up and exploring the city. We met up at Grand Central and went for a NYC bagel breakfast, then walked the "Museum Mile" to see the Guggenheim (which was a first for me - Frank Lloyd Wright designed the building and it is an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. structure). After that, as we were walking toward Central Park, I had a weird NY experience - I randomly saw someone I knew! It's this great artist guy, named Michael Albert! How bizarre?!? (Anyway, I know his cool family because they hung out at my library every Friday for storytimes and the reading clubs.) So, it made me feel like a true New Yorker, to actually be able to say hi to someone who I kind of know!

After all of that, we saw the sights at Central Park, Bethesda Fountain, the "Mall", and whatnot, then we had lunch in Bryant Park, next to the NY Public Library. We finished off the day with a visit to Daffy's, my new favorite store! All in all, a busy and fun day. And how great it was to visit with an old buddy (and go girl shopping!). More pictures here...
