August 21, 2014 Hudson River, NY to PA

This morning we walked over the Hudson River on an old railroad bridge.  It was a beautiful morning and great to be able to go for such a nice walk.  Then we drove to Newtown, PA.  Dave hates traffic.  I need to get him back to the boat.  One comment while driving was “This really f***’s with the rhythm of life.”  But I must admit, the countryside in these northeastern states had been beautiful.

We arrived at Rich and Cindy Valent’s home in New Town, PA in time for a nice dinner at their home.  This was the third couple we have visited on this trip with ties to our days in Germany while Dave was in the Air Force back in the late 1970's.  Rich was room mates in the barracks with Lee Glenister (Dave’s room mate) after Dave and I were married.  So Rich and Lee spent a lot of time with us.  We had never met Rich’s wife.  They have twin sons close to the age of our son who both now live in New Orleans.  Dave was his usual self, teasing and joking.  Rich commented a few times that it was nice to have Dave visit, because it made him look better in the eyes of his wife.  Funny
