[Magdalen] Visiting New York

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

That's more like it.  I am not crazy about medieval stuff, but I couldn't
get out of the cloisters til they threw me out. Really. So much to see. And
if you've ever been to the Met, there's a ton of stuff there. no way you
can do it in one day.
