We hear you but we can't see you.


The most interesting thing Paul and I did yesterday was experience a tour of the artwork at Rockefeller Center. When I saw how small the group was going to be I was happy, because one can hardly hear your own thoughts on NY streets let alone the voice of a guide barking out data. But guess what, we were handed earphones that plugged into our own remote listening device which we hung onto our pockets. So it didn't matter if there were 5 other tour groups around us or 10 taxis honking, we heard every word our guide spoke! In fact, there were a few times when Paul and I lost him in the crowd as he was probably a half block ahead of us. But we didn't miss a word. It was great! The tour lasted 1 1/2 hours. Our guide was awesome and answered lots of questions off the cuff as if he'd just looked it up last night. Has anyone reading this ever taken this tour? What did you think?
