Meant to go to the Met today.

Took the wrong train, got lost, and ate soup instead. Well, Ana and I enjoyed ourselves - we read and read and read!

Met up with Jenn and Eva after, got to see their exclusive (just the two nieces, nobody else!) dance class. They should progress nicely with all that individual attention :)
