Today we spent all day in the city. We took the subway early in the morning, and went to the Met. They have an exhibit of Samurai Art that was very nice. Lots of sword blades, with decorative hilts and scabbards, as well as sets of armor and helmets. Some of the helmets were crazy, with huge decorations on them. My favorite piece was a scabbard that was decorated with very intricate mother-of-pearl birds and mountains.

We then met Jon's aunt for lunch at the King's Carriage House. It was a very nice little place. I had the pea soup, the portobello and goat cheese omelette, and the oatmeal fruit crumble for dessert. Delicious. Then we took the subway all the way up to Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters. Unfortunately the Cloisters closed early because its November, and we only had 15 minutes. They let us come in and wander around a little, and it was very cool. We should return when we have more time. The park around the Cloisters is also very nice. Lots of flowers and bushes, and we could hear interesting birds singing.

We caught an express train back downtown and found the theater where we have tickets to the 39 Steps. Its a comedy of the Hitchcock movie. It was amazing. Very funny, very good show. Jon and I both loved it.
