Happy New Year!

---

New Year's day: The neighborhood was kept up all night by revelers who didn't quit until well after dawn. Disco music and singing went on until nearly 8am !!!! Maybe extreme partying was warranted to usher 2009 out? (I didn't lose much sleep, ignoring the noise, for the most part.) But I can't help ushering the year out, as I still have blog material for several more posts from 2009. Perhaps I should simply consolidate. (But the TB program won't let me add more photos, beyond those I've selected from the art museum, into this posting, so I'll have to continue later.)

We went to the Macay Museum of Contemporary Art a few days ago, and it was free admission! Their ground floor exhibit has work by young locals on display, some of which was quite good. Upstairs the work had more depth. We plan to revisit this museum again before leaving, as it is worthy of a second look.
