Stopped at Olana. Home of Hudson Valley artist Frederick Church. They have a beautiful new visitor center
Drove through Hudson and discovered a park with a great view of the Hudson Athens Lighthouse. It’s currently undergoing renovations
Then we drove to Catskill and to the Point. It’s really changed over the years. Managed to get a photo of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge
Had dinner at Christina’s restaurant and it was great. Michael had spaghetti and meatballs and I had chicken parmigan sandwich. delicious. They also had fried bread dough balls in bread basket.

Did a 5K walk with friends this morning at a local park. Part of the trail is alongside the Chesapeake Bay so I was able to take a photo of the bridge

Fall decorations at Saratoga Spa State Park. This is just part of the display. I took some pictures with my iPhone and then when I went to take some with my Nikon I realized I left the battery home charging. All is not lost. Ordered battery and charger from Amazon and it will be delivered tomorrow
Then we headed to Saratoga National Historical Park. This time the 10 mile drive around tbe park was open
Spotted some red leaves
Nelson House was bait around 1775. In 1777, a British army was invading southward from Canada into New York and the route would take them through the Neilson’s backyard. John took his wife and their possessions to the safety of her parents home in Stillwater and exchange his home for a tent, serving with his local militia regiment. Park Rangers were working on the front of the house so had to settle for another view. This restored home looks much as it did when Generals Arnold and Poor used it for quarters in 1777
Do you see a bunny with big ears?
Spotted the silo from a distance and was hoping for a red barn but when I got closer was disappointed to see it was not red but it’s still a pretty picture
On the way back to hotel discovered the Caldwell Cemetery alongside the road. Some of the markers date back to late 1800s and early 1900s

On my morning walk one of my friends mentioned Matapeake Beach. I have been to the fishing pier numerous times but I think I have only been to beach once and that was a long time ago. It’s 46 degrees so no ice or snow but I did get a couple of good pictures

Our last night on the cruise and the sunset was just beautiful. I took lots and lots of pictures as the sky changed colors. It’s going to be hard to decide which one to enlarge and frame and hang on the wall
Foggy and rainy morning in Astoria, Oregon. The bridge connects Washington and Oregon and is 4.1 miles long. It is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America. However, the Bay Bridge at home is 4.3 miles.
Astoria is the oldest city in the state and was the first American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains
It is claimed that Clark Gable began his career at the Astoria theatre in 1922
A scene from one of our favourite TV shows Eureka was set in Astoria. Other notable movies filmed in Astoria include Short Circuit, Kindergarten Cop and Free Willy 2
Average rainfall in Astoria is 60 yes 60 inches. They usually have only a couple of inches of snow every couple years and when it does snow the whole town shuts down since they have a lot of hills. Locals call Astoria a mini San Francisco Because it rain so much there is a lot of moss as you can see from the picture below
