I learned of Boscobel from my cousin as an awesome venue to see Shakespeare performances in a beautiful outdoor landscape on the Hudson. A recent trip to Boscobel surprised me as it turned out to host a farmers market on Saturdays so I had a lovely last minute picnic with fresh kalamata olive bread andContinue reading “NY: Hudson Valley- Garrison-Boscobel House & Gardens”

MA: Mt Washington- Bash Bish Falls
After a rainstorm, I chase waterfalls. I most enjoy waterfalls that continues down a meandering river I can follow along a long trail. I started from the NY side of the park.
