Plenty of people took advantage of the free admission at the MFA today. I'm sure the weather had something to do with it; cool and rainy is not exactly beach or picnic weather.

I should have taken more pictures with my phone, it does much better in low light.

We saw lots of cool, old, and beautiful things. I love the ancient statuary and jewelry. leenah loved the furniture and paintings. Despite the crowds (and the weather), we had a nice time.

After a couple of hours, we both were ready for some food. The lines at the museum café were long, so we headed out to find someplace to eat. Siri was unhelpful in getting us directions to a nearby restaurant we had picked, what with one-way streets and foreign names, so we headed over to Cambridge and ate at a cute Mexican café in Central Square. My burrito was so huge, I couldn't finish it. Yummy, though!

It was a fun day. It's been ages since I've been to the museum. I really love it there. I like it even better than the Met in NYC, 'though I've only seen a fraction of that.

Yes, well, she uses Apple maps, so there you go. ;)

It was excellent to see you as well! You'll have to come out here to the boonies sometime. I could pick you up at the train station in Ashland.
