Covered bridges in Vermont, near the town of Grafton...they are so beautiful and how lucky to see the horses passing through....

The Saugerties Lighthouse, situated on the mudflats of the Hudson River, this morning Peter and I walked out through the tidal wetland to see it. Not your usual looking lighthouse. The second story is a Bed and Breakfast, booked out for the rest of the year.




The Hancock Shaker Village...was closed by the Shaker Ministry in 1960 but opened as a museum in 1961. This was a real joy to visit , I have always loved the Shaker furniture but to see this whole village just as it used to be was sensational.


View from Mount Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts.  There were 360 degree views , all beautiful.

Penn Street Station  34 Street..here we are waiting for our train to New Jersey where we will pick up our RV (campervan )... Love Art Deco .


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.
