Emma and I have always enjoyed strolling through Central Park together, often with King pulling ahead, sniffing everything in sight. One of the many perks of living on the Upper West Side is the proximity to Manhattan’s massive recreation area. This afternoon, we grabbed some smooth custard ice cream and took a long walk through the park. We went all the way over to the Upper East Side and spontaneously decided to visit the Met. We only had about an hour or so before closing, so we spent most of the time admiring the Egyptian artifacts. The jewelry was our favorite. I’m fascinated by how much influence our society draws from the ancient Egyptians in terms of beauty and fashion. What a humble reminder of how we have evolved and grasped a variety of traditions, always looking to the stars and planets for guidance.
