Wow! ‘Olana‘ — what a place. Though I had looked it up, I was blown away.

I had met a lady, a retired veterinarian, at ‘Staatsburg‘, who INSISTED that I must visit Olana. I had never heard of it. She showed it to me on ‘Google Maps‘. I checked it out that night. I knew I had to visit. I DID.

Boy, oh Goy. Plus, I like HIM! That was a bonus.

Place was closed. That was kind of good. Not too many people. I like that. I did a LOT of hiking. Had to myself for quite a bit of time. Yes, I will post more pictures. Give me time. SMILE.

I Am Very Much At Home On The ‘Hudson Valley’.

I am no stranger to the Hudson Valley.

I first visited it 1967/1968. Have been back many times since then. But, this year, visiting ‘Poughkeepsie‘ (for old times’ sake from my days at ‘IBM‘) I have formed a deep attachment. This was my second visit (for a total of 6 days) in 6 weeks.

It is now May and it is getting TOO BUSY for my liking. But, plan to go back in September. Yes, more visits to the Hudson Valley than Maine. But, NO BOOKS. They have a surfeit & it will take me a few more visits to feel like an expert. SMILE.

This picture was taken at ‘Locust Grove‘ (from THE ‘house’ looking towards the river).
