NYC and Pawling 3 days August 2024

Took Amtrak to NYC, spent afternoon and night there. Next day traveled to Tarrytown, rented a car and then drove to Pawling and Brewster to celebrate Cathy's birthday and see the James Maddock Band at Daryl's House in Pawling. Spent the night at Heidi's Inn and then returned to NYC and took Amtrak back home. It was a quick but very fun trip. I concentrated on the new things in NYC - or at least new since I was there before.
