After picking up our van in Middletown we headed for Saugerties in upstate NY...using a Tomtom for the first time...so useful..this was one of our first glimpses of the colourful trees!


Our camp ground for tonight in Saugerties...I walked down and took some photos and then directed Peter with the van into the vacant spot on the right. Isn't it pretty and soooo quiet.

Wednesday 9 October



New York Museum of Modern Art...thoroughly enjoyed it , not only the paintings and exhibits but was quite taken with the building itself.


Pumpkins ( we have seen a lot of these!) in the Chelsea Markets...such an interesting place to visit.


The incredible Flatiron Building


Eataly in Chelsea...our final meal in New York...and the best pizza I think I have ever eaten...


Tonight we had the extreme pleasure of seeing the New York Metropolitan Opera perform Eugene Onegin at the Lincoln Centre. What a fabulous night...the atmosphere, the venue, the music, the costume...it was all quite spectacular.
