A 4 day trip to New York City

 This weekend we drove up to NYC and stayed with Etiye Aster on Long Island. On Sunday we took the subway into Manhattan and had lots of fun at FAO Schwartz, walking in Central Park, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, being able to visit Uncle Yaron, and seeing the 9/11 Memorial. The next day we had a great time exploring Brooklyn and walking around Prospect Park. As for the weather, we got sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 60s.

Also at the Met, we saw the temple of
Dendur (notice how it says "AMIRO")
