Met Joe’s mum (Antoinette) and younger sister (Olivia) – was really nice to see them.

And just occasionally we got ourselves in front of stunning New York views …

Jo’s back from New Orleans.

And New York is still very photogenic

Loving New York weather – you saw the snow over the past couple of days. Today a storm passed through and the temperature hit 14 degrees – then it went back down to 3.

Anyway, a good day for the Met. Again, loved the tours which only last an hour and give an introduction to almost anything you can think of – Chinese Art was our choice.

Here’s a Chinese garden to remind us, although much of the talk was about art and hieroglyphics.

And the Met’s Christmas Tree

And enjoyed the bus ride back up Madison Avenue.

Weather is just about perfect at the moment – crisp and sunny, although we think there’s a storm coming. And it makes New York even more photogenic, so lots of pics.

And a quick update from New Orleans ..

Then down to the Whitney Museum.

and a walk and. Sit on the beach!

With the jet lag not too bad – a bit like a very late night – all we needed was a walk in the park, a bit of shopping and a tequila!

Oh, and of course bumping into an old friend by surprise, although I’m not sure why the surprise as it doesn’t ever move!

Actually it’s fantastic.

US security was a dream – less than 20 minutes to get through and chatty and friendly Border Guard.

Welcome to NYC traffic

But got to Jo’s apartment – she’s away at a conference in New Orleans so excited to see her when she’s back.

And Central Park was amazing, as always.
