Welcome to New York
The new in-laws and our friends from Munich are now on a plane home. I am fairly confident in saying they had a good time. I am extremely confident in saying we didn't waste a single moment. I am exhausted. This weekend will be very quiet, as we recover from all the activity. The most impressive thing was watching Conny  play tour guide to her newly adopted home city. I dare say the lady did a better job for her folks than I did for her on her first visit almost two years ago.
Every New Yorker should have at least one first-time tourist to New York City come visit per year. Getting out and sharing the city is a good way to remember what a great place this is. Short visits are allowed though, and the visitors don't have to stay in your apartment. There's only so much us natives can take while being tour guides.
