In the midst of a very busy weekend meeting longtime wonderful friends, I lunched with Katie, who graciously drove up from New York City. I love to hear what's happening with her, and her interesting pursuits and travels. As with many of my friends, I come away inspired. Maya Cafe and Cantina , located on Route 9 in Fishkill, NY provided a perfect place to enjoy a meal and catch up on our activities. I ordered my favorite....a steak quesadilla, made with skirt steak, which I happen to love. Katie's choice was Machaca y Huevos. which is Brisket, eggs and queso fresco. My meal was delicious and Katie told the waiter how much she enjoyed hers. The food and the atmosphere make the Maya Cafe a "must dine at" restaurant.

On Tuesday, my sister and I visited my grandson's Eagle Scout project. He created a rest stop with picnic tables for walkers and bikers on the Dutchess County Rail Trail in LaGrange (picture on right). It is located about one mile north of Titusville Road. The walk was relaxing and pleasant. We followed it with lunch at the Acropolis Diner in Poughkeepsie. They serve a bowl of Matzoh Ball soup, which was perfect after a long walk.
We had planned to visit Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel (built in 1906) in Poughkeepsie NY. It is located on property formerly housing The Hudson Valley Psychiatric Center and is now owned by St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Hyde Park. I was told it was very beautiful. So we traversed the winding road until we found it impassible due to workmen repairing the pavement. Hopefully, I'll get there on the next visit to the area.
Today is cold and rainy. A good day to hibernate. What a surprise....snow. The first of the season!
