New York-post 6 Sunday...

Sunday we went to church. We had an adventurous ride in a taxi to get there which was weird in and of itself to pay to get to church. And not my five minute door to door trip here at home. You can't see in the picture, but just above the door is a marble plaque which says The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Other than that, the building looks just like all the other brownstones and brick buildings along that block. Inside it all felt and looked familiar...though we did ride an elevator to the fourth floor where the chapel was. It was testimony meeting. It is nice to go so far from home and be able to have something...the gospel...there so familiar.
We had hoped to go to the Temple while here but it was closed for cleaning so we just got to see the outside.

We were looking for the address for the Temple and looking at street signs and when we looked up one time, there it was. Right at the corner of a busy intersection. This is a better view as we crossed the street and came down a block. The first picture I took (which frustrating enough, won't load for me) you could see better how the building blends in. The angel Moroni was "hidden" in the building structure of the building across the street. I love the one way sign that point to the name on the building. So interesting to be in the middle of the city and have no grounds around the Temple to enjoy.

Sunday we also spent our day wandering some of the museums. So many paintings and so many things to see. I think you could spend a whole week in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Natural History Museum. It was amazing to see up close paintings that I have heard and read about my whole life...Matisse, Picasso, Michaelangelo, Vincent van Gogh.... Above was one of my favorites, Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh.

Another one I have seen pictures of several times but did not know who had done it. It is "The Boulevard Montmartre on a Winter Morning" by Camille Pissaro. I liked several of his paintings.
