Bob and I have joined a recreation center here. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk from the house — downhill there and uphill back. It’s just on the other side of the train tracks. Bob has developed a workout routine for the gym, and it allows me to bike until my foot (just my 4th toe at this point) is back to normal. It is the first time we’ve benefited from a senior discount —$26/month for non-residents. Quite the deal!
Yesterday, we met at the BakeHouse, a cute cafe in the train depot for breakfast after our workout. I’m not usually a food photographer, but this was the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had! Avocado toast, but I paid $1 more for the bread to be Brazilian cheese bread. So yummy!
Today, I turned 61. Crazy age and honestly it seems like I just turned 60. I wish life would slow down a bit. To celebrate, besides dealing with Con Edison to get the gas turned on at the house (It has been off due to homeowner renovations), Bob and I walked across the Mario Cuomo Bridge. There were a surprising number of people out walking on it, including a large class of female students on the Nyack, NY, side.
The bridge is 3.6 miles long from Westchester Landing in Tarrytown to Rockland Landing in Nyack. Our walk ended up being close to nine miles with the walk from and back to the house added on.
where we started the out and back crossing.
Along the bridge, over the water portion, there are 6 sitting and view point areas off of the bike and pedestrian path.
