The Caspar David Friedrich exhibit at the Met was totally packed today. Lovely paintings, but I need to sneak in some weekday so I can view at leisure. His painting, "Ruins at Oybin" (c. 1812) was particularly gorgeous. It seemed to glow in the low exhibition lighting.

One of my favorite American experiences was that we went to the Big E and went to a store to have soft serve. The owner asked would you like to meet Misty, the cow whose milk made that soft serve?
We said yes and went around to the back of the tent and there was Misty chewing hay in all her glory.
