Douglas,
Thanks for looking. My raison d'etre for going into metropolitan areas
instead of wild ones is museums and cultural shows (plays, music, etc), so
museums are always on the list, even if, like MOMA and the Met, I have been
a dozen times before. The only ones which I find disquieting are the
Temples to High Loot like the Louvre and the British Museum! :-)

Cheers
Jayanand
