I'd been wanting to go to The Noguchi Museum since the first time I visited New York City in the early 1990s. I'm pleased to say that, over twenty years later, I finally made the time.

The Cloisters
It's a beautiful Autumn afternoon as Kim and I make our way up to The Cloisters museum. The sun is shining through leaves dappled in fall colors, birds are singing, and there's a happy hum in my heart as the noise and clatter of the rest of the city falls far behind us.
