Meeting up with my "CF Twin" Anna in New York, and The Cloisters

As fate would have it, while we were in NYC, my transplant friend Anna was also passing through, on her way back from the American Transplant Games... (she lives in Australia now). I got to see her and catch up a bit for an evening. Definitely not enough time to catch up AT ALL but better than nothing... We had supper in Times Square, they went off to watch a show, and then we met up again for drinks.


Earlier that day, we went to The Cloisters with James and a friend of his.What a totally different experience! It really felt like we were in Europe. It was EXTREMELY hot on that day, as you can see from my picture taken with James! My favourite artworks on display here was the Unicorn Tapestries. So beautiful, albeit violent!!!

The Met Cloisters, located on four acres overlooking the Hudson River in northern Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park, is the branch of the Museum dedicated to the art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe. Deriving its name from the medieval cloisters that form the core of the building, it presents a harmonious and evocative setting for more than 2,000 exceptional artworks and architectural elements from the medieval West.

Hi Alice,
Just catching up on the last couple of posts. A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY and lungaversary to you!!! Love reading about all your adventures, awards and accomplishments. So sorry for the loss of your friends recently. You are doing great, though, and what a wonderful spokesperson you are for organ transplants! You make such a difference to so many lives and future lives with your contributions. I've said this before, but I feel very honored to have met you in person. Interesting that Anna lives in Australia now. Her husband must have a new job there. (Sorry, I forgot his name). Your little nephew continues to be so adorable!!
Love to you,
Sherry Boyle
