A day amist nature and modern achitecture

We were awoken up in the middle of the woods, not by the warbling of
the birds, but by the chirping of Noam. 8 AM... What a nice treat!
(usually he wakes up a bit before 7!) Our room's window gives onto a
wall of rock and ferns, the light is sublime.
We slowly discover the house and the landscape it integrates so
nicely... We feel at peace, relaxed, in vacation.
Later we go in Hudson, the hopping hub (less than 6000 souls). We wolfed
down escargots, nutella crepes and massive salads in a french bakery,
and stroll around antique stores. Looks like anybody wanting to do
business has the requisite antique store integrated in - wether it is
a restaurant, a barber shop or a real estate agent. A parade past by
us, a big band, a boat float and a few loosely arranged majorettes/
walkers. Noam enjoys the music of the fire truck.
We slit into girls and boys cars, drive up to Taghkanic lake where
the girls have a blast. The sun is good, but the water is fresh, and
me and Stacey prefer the sandy towels to the water. Can't help
feeling like some waves would make the water cleaner...
We return to the house and slowly prepare dinner - Eden and Boaz roll
up some pizzas. Noam eats like a pig and it takes again more than an
hour to put him in bed. The rest of the evening is spent discussing
the history of the house's construction.
