Sammy and Me

Hi all,

I thought I would post another video, so check that out below. Also - here is a photo of my Uncle Tom and Aunt Yoli and me at The Cloisters. A desciption of what the Cloisters is follows, pulled from the museum's website:

The Cloisters—described by Germain Bazin, former director of the Musée du Louvre in Paris, as "the crowning achievement of American museology"—is the branch of the Metropolitan Museum devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. Located on four acres overlooking the Hudson River in northern Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park, the building incorporates elements from five medieval French cloisters—quadrangles enclosed by a roofed or vaulted passageway, or arcade—and from other monastic sites in southern France. Three of the cloisters reconstructed at the branch museum feature gardens planted according to horticultural information found in medieval treatises and poetry, garden documents and herbals, and medieval works of art, such as tapestries, stained-glass windows, and column capitals. Approximately five thousand works of art from medieval Europe, dating from about A.D. 800 with particular emphasis on the twelfth through fifteenth century, are exhibited in this unique and sympathetic context.


Now you know. They took me there while I was staying with them a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty cool.

Anyway - I will post again soon. Check out the video link below.

All my love,
Krystal
