By 10 am we had a slight drizzle and the chop was getting a little choppier - but nothing that we could not tolerate. We went past Poughkeepsie the sun playing with us popping up bringing bright blue skies then disappearing again. The we got rain - lots of rain -
I looked up some of the houses and buildings we saw from our vantage point on the river and tried to name as many as I could. If any one recognize any of them let me know if I got it wrong.
