It's Peachy!


Anticipation!

Here is your postcard from my trip to New York City. We enjoyed the landscapes of four Great Lakes and the Finger Lakes. Historic districts Marshall Michigan, Niagara on the Lake Ontario, and Hudson Ohio were welcome distractions to the miles of roads in between. Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca NY, sushi in Brooklyn and Balthazar - a French Bistro in SOHO made us glad to be hungry. Farmstands graced the roads in Ontario and New York. We stretched our legs from the long drive and walked from Battery Park into Manhattan. My friends sister gave us a personal tour of Ralph Lauren Corporate headquarters on Madison Avenue. I was adopted to experience apartment living in Brooklyn and a home on Long Island. We worked at a Vineyard sampling grapes and bottling Pinot Noir.
The highlight? It was the peaches. Those numerous farm stands had peaches galore and I did my best to eat up to three of them a day. Eyes closed, a deep breath and sweet juice running down your chin...heaven.
