Kingston, NY – June 19, 2008

Kingston is located on Rondout Creek. There is a lighthouse to mark the entrance. The ride up Rondout Creek was very picturesque with an old-fashioned charm about it.

The town marina is next to the Hudson River Maritime Center Museum and the restored historical waterfront district. There are several restaurants close to the docks.

Kingston was the original capital of New York. In 1777 it was burned to the ground by the British, whose ships had managed to get up the river.

Darrell’s sister Eileen and her husband David live in Connecticut. We will be visiting them for a couple of days. Back to the blog in a day or two.
