There is always something to do in the city that never sleeps, even if you don’t know what you want to do. These pictures were captured on a recent trip during which we were able to enjoy this exhibit; and added bonus… there was no admission fee. It was definitely worth the trip.

The home boasts a collection of artwork of more than 92,000 thousand items including works by Monet, Renoir and more. The tapestries alone are worth the visit.

For me, it’s a hit or miss. I enjoy Instagram not so sure about Facebook. Pinterest is my go to application because of its usefulness.
For real communication though, I rely on my iPhone’s FaceTime feature to connect with family. It’s my granddaughters (4 of them) preferred tool for talks with Abuela, 🥰
I’m slowly learning new ways to use technology to my advantage, in the meantime, I limit how often I make use of it.
