New York, New York

Near the end of November, I had the amazing opportunity to visit dear friends in New York City!   I love this city and find that each visit holds new and special experiences.  Close friends from South Africa, Richard & Heather Van zyl Smit, and their two boys Timothy (4) and Oliver (2) were staying in NY for 6 months while Richard was doing research.  It was a joy to stay with them in their tiny flat and explore the city by day.  Of course I saw musicals and visited museums...all my favorite things!  Here are some fun photos from my time:


Sitting in the fall sunshine and enjoying the view of the Brooklyn Bridge



Metro rides and fun city public art




Saturday afternoon in Central Park!  The fall leaves were amazing!




Watching the ice skaters and taking a ride on the famous merry go round 


One of favorite locations in the US: Times Square!


So excited to see one of my favorite singers Harry Connick Jr. in the musical On a Clear Day




Enjoyed a Sunday afternoon at the Museum of Modern Art.  I love watching people in museums and how they look at art and interact with the space.  Little do these strangers know they have made my blog!




Radio City Music Hall and Rockerfeller Center


Oh yum!  Just looking at this photo again makes my mouth water!  These cupcakes are amazing...I hadn't been to the Magnolia Bakery since 2000, so it was nice to treat Heather and the boys to American cupcakes on my last morning in New York!




What a treat!
