On Friday we went back to the Met as Peter didn't feel we had adequate time there during the Museum Mile festival. We spent a lot of time looking at Islamic art and Far Eastern art, including many versions of the Buddha, one being about 1200 years old and made of wood. We didn't get time to visit the Greek and Roman art though which I was very upset about! We then spent the afternoon learning how to meditate with our eyes open at a Shambhala meditation centre.. it was a very weird experience and I started to see faces in the wooden flooring that I was staring at! We finished the day with the best meal I've had since we've been here- Thai :) Massaman Curry with Thai Ice tea, absolutely beautiful- although my step-mum's comes pretty close to it :)
Saturday was a free day so I used the time to chill out and Skype home before going to Broadway in the evening :) I have to be honest, as much as I love it here, there was a part of me when I was skyping home that felt quite ready to go home! However, when we were on the subway into the city four guys got on who introduced themselves as brothers and then started to dance and flip down the aisle right in front of us- it was like a mini Diversity performance :) It felt so authentically 'New York' and just like that I went back to never wanting to leave! We went to see Mamma Mia- I love the film and the show did not disappoint! I LOVED IT- it was so funny, most of the singing was great and at the end we all got up a clapped and swayed to Waterloo :)
