Day Two in NYC

We have found everyone here very helpful but it is pretty obvious that all we have to do is open our mouth and we come across as Andy Griffith and Barney Fife. Yesterday when the President was landing near the Ferry, Terry asked the people around us what the ruckus was. They looked at him like he was from Mars—I don’t think they had ever heard of “ruckus”. With a lot of help from people at the dock, the bus stop and the bus driver, we have figured out the bus system and started the morning at Central Park. There we realized this was a big elephant and we had to set some priorities and pace ourselves. Central Park could have taken a day all by itself and after a couple of hours there, we decided to get on one of the local tour buses. High points besides the entire Park area were Times Square, 30 Rock, and Broadway. We returned to the boat exhausted and this is the first time I regret that we don’t have a bath tub in which to soak.
