may 16, church: moma: church

we walked through the art school campus next door to char's building to get everywhere:



the trains were all messed up due to weekend rail construction, but char is a master subway map reader. it still took us 1.5 hrs to get to Tim Keller's church in Manhatten Sunday morning. it was a wonderful, culturally diverse church...such a blessing to the city. i felt so refreshed just being among other believers




belonging to donald trump:
we then walked through central park, got a vender hot-dog to share and it was tasty!








we met a friend of char's at the museum of modern art and saw two exhibits: one beautiful, the other rather disturbing (is that par for the modern art course perhaps?). performance art is just weird and self-absorbed and all the nakedness unnecessary.



after the museum, we grabbed the most amazing pizza, calzone, diet pepsi (hardly any diet coke in nyc!) and we ate it so quickly that i didn't get a picture, but it involved roasted peppers, zucchini, goat cheese, watercress, and hazelnut gelato. we finished the evening with char's church resurrection pres in Williamsburg-the part of nyc where most the hipsters live and char says "everyone walks around looking sullen." res pres is a redeemer plant that is a little closer to brooklyn and a good bit smaller and artsier. it was a wonderfully warm church with stunning music. char seems to fit in well there.

we took the bus home just in time for char to interview two possible subletters for one of her roommates. apparently getting an apt in nyc is akin to applying for a job. then to bed we went for another 8hr stretch...ahhh....
