I explored more today and found a really great area that I wish I had discovered sooner.
I also found something a little out of place.
I would have had more pictures of the interior, but there were guards in every room and I wasn't sure if photography was allowed.
I apparently chose to visit at the same time as some dignitaries because there were security guards in black suits with earpieces all over the place. I don't think I look too threatening, but I was watched very closely for a few hours.
The Cloisters are part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the 1930s, they disassembled structures in France and rebuilt them brick by brick in Manhattan. Impressive!
It's tough to believe that all this parkland (and the museum itself) occupy a giant hill in Manhattan. It's amazing what you find on this island. Did any of these pictures look like what you would expect to see when someone mentions NYC (much less Manhattan)?

| The stunning Bronx skyline! (Sorry Bronx...) |
 |
| A medieval abbey? |

| Interior courtyard. |
