being tourists

we cashed in another of our wedding gifts last night, this time from my sister in law and her partner. thanks, guys! at 9.30pm with a full moon behind us, we boarded a boat for a jaunt along the river inn full view of the statue of liberty. apart from the pumping party boat that whizzed past, it was the most serene place we've ever been in new York. we also talked about how it was cool that we felt like tourists. just on an ordinary weeknight, we were on holiday for an hour and a half. we'd have never had that feeling on a boost trip down the Thames. that's a definite perk to living abroad.
