We have been for a while in New York by now. I have been to many places: The Empire State building, several museums, the tram, Queens and more. Moira read an ad in a newspaper about an exhibit where manuscripts from The Little Prince. As it was a new place, Sabrina, Moira and I decided to go. The exhibit was held in The Morgan Library and Museum. Such a magnificent place!! We had the opportunity of seeing not only manuscripts by Saint-Exupery but extraordinary books. Three Gutenberg bibles, many medieval manuscripts, rare books, letters from Mozart and other precious objects are in display. But this is not all. We could delight our ears with an exquisite duo of violin and cello. The atmosphere was intimate and pleasant. The place seemed to be in a forest or the country, far away for the restless city of New York.
I may say that what struck my attention the most was the remarkable building that used to be Morgan residence. Its historical and glamorous office, his wonderful halls and to end with, the most remarkable, amazing and incredible library and have never seen. After visiting this place, I had to redefine my meaning for the word "luxury".
