The Romanians Takeover New York City

Well- we are at it again.  My best friend's husband informed me he was coming to NYC last week for the weekend and of course, yours truly, was once again a host.  Whether I pass my classes will depend on how much work I can pull out this week but to be sure, it was well worth it.  

The first thing I said to him was, "You are staying at the Waldorf?!?  I know this is a nerdy request but I MUST see it."  I explained that I had wanted to go and scope out the place but was pretty sure they had an anti- come and look but don't purchase policy.  So with my chance, I had camera in hand.  


The Waldorf- Astoria: Host to the World.  Some of the most famous people have stayed here.  This WAS Sinatra's hotel and hey, even Presidents stay here.  


From the outside it may not look like much anymore but this is old New York.  A staple of the city of legend. 


Julian and his friends (they are Romanian) all came to NY to visit, some for the first time.  In all, there were 12 of them.  Julian's old friend from Queens took us out Friday and I had Saturday.  Below is me and Julian with our serious pose, for the Queens crowd.    



And me and Luana, Andreea's cousin.  Luana recently started as a diplomat in Washington DC.  So she has diplomatic immunity.  She even has a card which no joke states paraphrased, "this official will be treated with due respect... if in danger... will do anything possible to protect..."  That's a lot of responsibility for me as the escort.  I was also informed that if we were to marry, I too would get a card!  Diplomatic immunity sounded great before I realized, within seconds, that I should NEVER be given such a card.  My parents can attest that as a child, Jacer Racer would surely abuse such privileges.
