Nice! Another action packed 10K Sunday with so much to show you, including some amazing content from the world famous Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
After a couple of somber days due to the passing of my remarkable grandmother, I cut loose a bit on Sunday. I got out early at 8 am to make the trek from Brooklyn to midtown Manhattan to meet up with my fellow New York Blues for the big match against Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League. We had a good turnout for the match, and The Football Factory was packed with other supporters clubs as well since there were four games going on at the same time. Fulham, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace all showed up for the big match day as well.
I definitely got my steps in pacing around the pub, because for the second time in two weeks, Chelsea's captain got thrown out with a red card for some stupid fouls. Chelsea nearly squandered a two-goal lead (twice), but managed to hold on after 10 minutes of 2nd half injury time 3-2.
I couldn't say the same for the other team in West London. Fulham went up 3-2 against Liverpool at Anfield, but the reds came back with two goals in the last 5 minutes to steal back all 3 points. Sorry Cottagers!
After the match, I walked up 3rd Avenue to grab a bite to eat before catching the subway up to 86th Street to go to the museum. I met my partner there for the culture before meeting my family mourning scheduled at my uncle's place for 3 pm. By the time she met me at The Met, we had about 2 hours to see the different collections. Not nearly enough time!
The Christmas Tree in the main rotunda was adorned with several nativity characters. Then we looked at some classic European sculptures. Do you recognize any of them?
Next, we saw some paintings, including works from famous artists Pollack, Picasso, and Degas.
From there, we walked to the Arabic wing, with gorgeous carpets and tile work.
We finished with a stop in the Ancient Egypt collection to see the sarcophagus and other artifacts.
We walked a few blocks over to uncle's apartment where my family was still in mourning for my grandmother. There was a delicious cheese plate and many tasty desserts. It was nice to see my grandmother's city friends who couldn't make it to the funeral up in Westchester over the weekend. I led the attendees in the evening prayer service, and I know she would have been happy to see the 3rd generation of our family continuing with the Jewish religious practice that was such an important part of her life and identity. After a long weekend, my partner and I were happy to head out a bit early at 7 pm.
We got back to Brooklyn in less than an hour and ordered a few sushi rolls for dinner. We ate the food while watching the most recent episode of Saturday Night Live. We both got to bed early and were fast asleep before midnight.
I hope you enjoyed the museum (and footie) content today. If you want me to share more of the art, let me know in the comments and I can follow up with a Hive post showing more of the art that I captured there at The Mets. Thanks again for stopping by my Actifit report. Cheers!
