blogger is not my friend....

...i've just spent hours trying to post something else and am crazy frustrated, because it wouldn't work. i'm shaking my fist like colbert, "dammmmnn you blogggger!" deep breath....

so last weekend with my parents came to visit me from Cali. it was really nice to take a break from sick mode/ work mode and see some new york sights, which i hardly ever do.

we visited the beautiful Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for the cherry blossom festival....

my mom is cute and coordinates her outfits to the blossoming season...the Cloisters are a-ma-zing!! if you haven't gone yet i can't recommend
it enough. i think this was my favorite piece there, but really theres so
much- stained glass, religious iconography, paintings and statues of saints and
demons, a narwhal horn, relics and illuminated manuscripts.... heaven.the graveyard at trinity church...
here the gravestones image angles blowing wind and winged skeletons and they say,
"Here Lyes the Body of...."this was a performance(?) at the botanical gardens. it wasstrange and beautiful. the women moved very slowly on the ground. they started in a large circle and then made their way to the center, where they all went under a wedding? dress. does anyone know what this was? i'm not sure if it was a japanese thing since the events at the garden were japanese related...
very interesting and i'd love to learn more about it...
hope you enjoyed the pics...
