I'm quite disappointed with these pictures but as of request i am putting them up. Ideally at the start of this trip i wanted to capture the people of New York, like i did in Spain, but as time went on it was difficult to capture still images of people while constantly walking. I feel like I have forgotten how to take pictures..I regret not making more of an effort. Of course I can remember the people and fashion but I can't share what I remember. The majority of the these are of my favorite pieces of art from the various museums that we went to. I love love love the art museums in New York. I was so happy that I was able to recognize pieces and that I even found my favorite one (Perstencia de Memoria by Dali). :) Aside from my disappointing pictures, the trip was wonderful! It's nice to have a break from everything as cliche as that is. The shopping definitely made everything better. H&M is always a plus. The food was amazing of course. Going to restaurants that are only vegetarian is a huge change. There are many options here in Grand Rapids. Then all of a sudden there is a huge selection of vegetarian and vegan (which was interesting/good to try). There were times when I got very frustrated. New York is very populated and crowded and this made me feel flustered. I kept on thinking of things I need to get done and wanted to get done but I couldn't because I wasn't home and this added onto my stress. Thankfully, that feeling didn't last very long and I was able to enjoy the rest of my vacation. If anyone reads this, I apologize for my lack of being interesting. Enjoy the pictures!
Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)
Dali
A Starry Night (I never thought I'd be able to see this)

Metropolitan Museum (MET)
Hippopotamus "William" (Yes, that was the caption)

Now this is some original Tiffany & Co. This is what makes them worth the money not some silver chain.

My art teacher had her intro students to a paper clipping collage thingy of this painting a few years back.

Dali. He was a genius.Really.
Meghal matched the sculpture.

Re-done railroad tracks over this city that was made into a walk way.
