It was a beautiful day for a ride. We went through a covered bridge in Connecticut, drove up along the Hudson River and detoured for a few minutes to gawk at one of the Vanderbilt mansions.
In Rhinebeck we saw an interesting looking tavern, the Liberty Public House where we stopped for lunch. The bar was gorgeous. The decor was old Americana. Some of it was a little creepy… as was the trip up to the bathroom, lol.
The people there were fun and friendly and the food was good. I got a salmon burger that was the best I’ve ever had.. lots of fresh salmon, seasoned and cooked perfectly with a hint of dill and dressed with tzatziki.
handmade. homegrown. beautiful life 
What a great trip.

Sounds delicious – But I see what you mean about creepy, that bar looks like the one in THE SHINING.

Sound like a great trip with a lovely place to have lunch. The covered over bridge reminds me of the book, “Love in Black and White” which I enjoy some years ago, set in the same area I believe. I love the building beside it with the pillars and capitals, nice architecture.

It’s been fun rambling around on back roads and visiting little cities and towns. I googled the book, it looks good. Maybe our library has it. This mansion looks similar to some of the mansions in Newport , RI. That’s a fun day trip too..touring the mansions there, on the water. Maybe next week, lol.

How lucky you are to live close enough to Rhinebeck to go for a day trip. As I’ve mentioned before, my daughter went to school at Bard, and we grew to love that area. I hope to go back for a visit someday.

There is so much up in that area! I want to see the Culinary Institute and the Roosevelt Estate which is nearby too. I’ve only been to Maine once…that is pretty far away from me. It’s very beautiful. My daughter got married in Bar Harbor 4 years ago.

I have been to the Roosevelt Estate, but not the culinary institute. And, yes, Maine is a beautiful state.

Have you ever seen a moose? One was spotted down here last spring but I never saw it

Yes, I have seen a moose. However, they are not common in central Maine.

oh yes! This one is in Kent, near the falls. She probably took you to Cornwall. Funny to think of her as a Florida girl now

They made a movie from Love in Black & White; they called it Bridges of Madison County, I think. I thought of it too when I saw the picture. 🙂

Bridges of Madison County with Merle Streep and Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite movies.
