+The week of our visit happened to also be US Navy Fleet Week.
+Lots of sailors around and special events related.
+In honor of mom's uncle Arne, we traveled to the pier to try and get a look at one of the visiting warships.
+We didn't have time to wait in line and actually go on the ship.

+I traveled north to meet up with Felix at the Met Cloisters.
+One of the best parks in NYC, with a fantastic museum displaying midevil art right in the center.

+Felix, mom, and I enjoyed french cuisine at Le Monde, quite near the Columbia campus.
+I suprised myself by enjoying mussels.

+As our last hurrah in NYC, we enjoyed an opera.
+It was really fantastic, I can't wait to go again.

+We saw [Salome](https://w.wiki/EHY4).
+It was a very modern, creative telling of the bible story.
+The singing was in German, and small screens near each seat showed the translation in real-time.
+The entire stage moved up and down, there were visual effects---very impressive.

+Nothing much to say.
+We traveled by bus to Newark and flew out.
+First time mom used a wheelchair at the airport.
