Up the River
Tarrytown, NY to Lenox, MAIn the late 19th century, the beauty of the Hudson River Valley lured such wealthy industrialists as Gould, Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt to build summer homes in the area. Many are now open to the public. Another popular attraction is Sunnyside, the home of Tarrytown's favorite son Washington Irving. Our plan to visit some of these great estates of the rich and famous in the Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow area was disrupted by the weather this morning.
As we set out for Sunnyside, rain arrived in a sudden downpour. While we were safe and dry in our car, we saw a young woman at a bus stop who was getting drenched, so we gave her an umbrella. What a feel-good moment to be able to help someone with exactly the thing they most need at the moment they need it!
As we drove north along the river, the weather cleared. We letterboxed a bit on both sides of the river.
