We traveled by several lighthouses today.  These were truly houses.  

We even saw a family enjoying the deck that was around the house.

The river was beautiful.  The Catskill mountains were framing the river on the west side and large farms and homes on the east side.  There were quaint towns every few miles and you knew that the area hasn't changed in the last 150 years.  Every hour or so a commuter train would come zipping by on the east side and the west side was only freight trains.  There were a few barges and very few pleasure boat crafts.  The Hudson River is by far the most scenic place we have been to since we left on the Florida.  We spotted 

a Bald Eagle and  have been lucky enough to see one in every state

we have gone through except Delaware, and New Jersey.  I don't blame the eagles for not going there.  Not much to see or eat.

It hard for us to believe that in 2 days we will be starting WEST.

As Jim and I ponder our next destination, I feel like the pioneers that traveled up the Erie Canal, to find a new adventure.  You can never predict how your life will turn out.  We never thought we would be doing anything like this. Due to a problem with the internet, computer, or the operator I can't get any pictures other than the eagle to load up.  Hopefully they will tomorrow.
