Summer rewind

Before my two mini-vacations, I hosted some visitors. First 6 Norwegians and one Idahoan descended on my 2 bedroom apartment. As usual, I planned a most excellent NYC experience, and although not everything went according to plan, we had a good time.

Yankee stadium

Times Square 

First Broadway show for some 

9/11 memorial 

They are pretty impressed with my proximity to Starbucks 

The same day this huge group left, Anne Lise arrived for a writing workshop and then stayed for few days of sightseeing. 

Here we are at the pier in Queens with a lovely view of Manhattan. 

Brooklyn bridge
