New York-Montreal Trekkers Spend the Day Biking the Poughkeepsie Area


There's nothing better than waking up to the sound of a blasting air conditioner rather than the sound of irritating ground owls and obnoxious crickets. The Ramada Inn had great rooms, and comfy beds. We left the Ramada at about 9:15, and were on our diddly-do-da-way. Unlike previous days, the roads were as smooth as freshly bought Stop and Shop Nutella. Which we gorged ourselves on during lunch. Peanut butter, Nutella, corn tortillas: lunch fit for a king, or if you're Julia the Queen. We made new friends on the Walk Across the Hudson. Next on our list was the the FDR house. It was a delightfully educational trip that ended up being a long and scenic nap. Though it was quite enjoyable. Especially for the girls, who channeled their inner homosapien and climbed a massive tree. We arrived at our campsite at around 6 and had tacos for dinner, and ended the day with the finest German innovation in pizza dough technology. Dough on sticks over a fire, "lecker".
