In Your Own Backyard

Sometimes you forget where 30 minutes on a subway can bring you.

It's a funny thing living in a big city. Mostly you don't take advantage of all the things it offers. You think "Oh, I'll do that next weekend," but next weekend doesn't come. Life gets in the way.

I've been meaning to go to the Cloisters for years. Literally. Since I was in my 20s. Finally, today, thanks to A, I went. Very lovely.

And because you're on a hill in northern Manhattan, you get a wonderful view of the beautiful Hudson River.

So beautiful. And if it's thanks to A, more power to him.

I've always loved the Cloisters. For another beautiful view of the Hudson, go to Wave Hill.
