New York Pics From Day Two

I wanted to shop on day two in NY, but I didn't feel like it. I still hadn't got enough of the city. Since we got up early, still adjusting to the time change, we all got up and walked through Central Park. Our final destination was The Met. It was jaw dropping. We saw a plethora of Impressionist masterpieces in the two hours we spent there, I was in awe. I saw some of my favorites by Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Renoir, and Seurat. Enjoy the photos!

 Morning in Central Park


The Pond in Central Park


We ate at Planet Hollywood in Times Square, and we went to see The Lion King in the evening. I was a bit disappointed in the acting/singing, but the stage effects, puppeteers, and costumes were phenomenal. I cried a lot when Mufasa (Simba's father) passed on, but it didn't ruin the performance for me. I thought the storyline made for a fitting message, and I left feeling stronger than ever. I attribute my strength to the song titled, He Lives In You. The lyrics are beautiful, and they offered me hope and insight that I didn't have prior to watching the production.

The pictures are beautiful!!!! Sounds like a good experience too. Too bad The Lyon King was not "the best", but glad that you took something very positive from it. I am going to have to look up the song He Lives In You .
