I met up with Mark and Ann and Aki, friends from Ottawa now living in NYC, for a weekend in the Catskills, New York State. We rented a house and Neil, one of Aki`s lawyer friends joined us for the long weekend. The five of us had a great few days hiking, swimming in lakes, odd moments of frisbee playing, devouring local produce and blueberry pies, enjoying our Scapa whiskey and Californian red wine and general chillaxing.
We also learned that the defining concert of the 1970`s, Woodstock, was not actually held in Woodstock, but in the town of Bethel about 42 miles away from Woodstock in the Catskills. The hippies are still out in full force in the artist colony, and it is definitely a town still bringing in the tourists being famous for something it actually had nothing to do with!

Welcome back to the right hand side of the continent.
Following your adventures has been great - what a story. Woodstock still smell funny after all these years?
We are in our new house & surrounded by boxes - travelling would be much better
