I met up again today with my good friend Anu for a trip to the Brooklyn Museum to see the Vishnu: Hinduism's Blue-Skinned Savior exhibition. Having a bachelor's in Religion and a minor in Art History, I am always up for a trip to see the two combined. The avatars of Vishnu with which I am most familiar are Rama, Krishna, and the Buddha. Thus, I was best able to appreciate the pieces featuring them. All in all, we both enjoyed the exhibition greatly. There were, of course, other exhibitions as well. One piece that I particularly liked was Portrait of a Lady by Giovanni Boldini. I took a photo but the painting is under glass so the picture has an awful glare to it. But I was so very happy to spend the day with a friend from home, though I'm not exactly sure if that is good or bad for my homesickness.
Today's mileage: 2.97 mi
