8. Upstate or the city?

Fri Feb 23, 2018, 06:57 AM

Feb 2018

I have relatives in upstate NY, New Baltimore on the Hudson...gorgeous there, absolutely love the autumn leaves...I'm envious. Also have spent time in the village in NYC....really enjoy the White Horse Tavern....I believe Dylan Thomas died of alcohol poisoning (Absynth) there.

Thank you for your welcome!
