These Boots Are Made For Walking

Wish I had brought boots as it has been cold in New York. Today it is gorgeous so Brian and I strolled through Central Park on our way to see the Chagall Exhibit at the Jewish Museum. We left West 72nd Street, got our Starbucks tea and coffee and entered the park at Strawberry Fields with the "Imagine" mosaic on the ground. Headed north and east through the Rambles and climbed to the top of the Belvedere Castle. Behind us is the Delacorte Theatre.


We walked around the reservoir and arrived at the museum in time for lunch. They have a great cafe with delicious onion rolls! We explored the top two floors which house the permanent collection and then wandered through the Chagall paintings. I love his work with people floating in ecstasy and the vibrant colors. He tackles lots of difficult themes too. On the first floor we viewed the Art Spiegelman exhibit featuring his book "Maus" and his comic books, etc.

We took a taxi home and rested for a few hours. Later we had Chinese food and saw the movie "Hunger Games: Girl on Fire."
