National Arboretum- Washington DC
My daughter said I should take a pic of the library as that’s where she spends most of her time…Haven’t been to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden for a bit- between humidity and vacation and life, but I was glad to get back. “Last Year at Marienbad” is considered a classic film- beautifully shot- each frame is a mini work of art. I’m not quite sure if I understood it though- there’s a lot to unpack…
Inca Tacu Tacu at Incasocial in Arlington VA- I don’t know how traditional the Peruvian food is, but it was good
Call Your Mother- Washington DC- The Thunderbird. This is my daughter’s favorite place to get breakfast in DC. Yummy.
Gallery 507
European Sculpture and Decorative Arts- The things in these galleries are just breathtaking. I was most in awe of the bedroom featured above- it was very easy to get lost in this room and think about all the stories that it could tell…
Jegi: Korean Ritual Objects- This was an average exhibit. While the pieces are nice, it’s entirely forgettable.

I came across this quote the other day and thought it was good:

Do not doubt him who tells you he is afraid, but be afraid of him who tells you he has no doubts.

Erich Fried

On a different note- I was very lax at reading blogs this week- between bringing my daughter back to school, getting some household stuff in order, and my internet issues. Hoping to get back on track and catch up if possible!

  1. I like museums that are curated in such a way as to allow my mind to drift toward stories, rather than the museums that are all about facts. I mean, I like factual details but it’s more fun to muse.

  3. While I can appreciate the artistry in that bedroom there’s a few too many cherubs overhead for my liking. I think that would freak me out if I had to sleep there.
