I think it was in the middle of page 14 when I had to flip to the back of the book to see what else Elizabeth Gilbert has written. I plan on reading all of them. Eat, Pray, Love is Gilbert's year long journey to 3 countries and her quest to study the art of pleasure (Italy), the art of devotion (India) and find balance between the two (Indonesia). Really amazing read, just be careful not to have access to travelocity and a credit card while reading the portion on Italy...

City Saturdays
Yesterday we took a "city day" which basically means museum/gallery hopping, wine bar hopping, lots of walking (it was 50 degrees and sunny in Manhattan yesterday!), and inevitably dinner with friends. There are few better ways to spend a day. We started in the East 30's and visited the Morgan Library (Pierpont Morgan, of the Morgan family - you may be familiar with JP Morgan...) where they're currently showing an Irving Penn exhibit that was amazing. If you live in the area it's definitely worth a trip. We got to check out Mr. Morgan's personal library where the guard showed us where there's a secret staircase that leads to an underground passage stretching all the way to Grand Central Terminal! Because if you don't have your own secret passageway leading from your house to Grand Central Terminal how important could you possibly be? Amazing.
Then off to enjoy the rest of the day, slowly meandering our way North to our friends apartment for dinner. I loved that at every location we stopped into there were strollers outside and happy families enjoying the day doing the same thing we were doing but with children! Can't wait to be one of them. When you're in a city the size of NYC it's also hard not to notice the sheer quantity of stroller designs - wow there are a lot of options. We love our Stokke Xplory...now we just need the Bean to put in it!
