We started our westward meandering today with a stop to see my cousin Joan and Tom Olson in Westborough, MA. After a tour of their beautiful new home and looking at pictures of their adorable new grandson, we continued our visit over dinner at a wonderful Italian restaurant. A meal with no seafood!

October 2
Leaving Massachusetts and driving through Connecticut to the Catskill Mountains, we landed in Saugerties, NY. Although it was raining most of the way, the fall foliage and drive through the Hudson River Valley was picturesque.
Setting up at our campsite, I was unhooking the Jeep from the RV and made a wrong twisting move. EEOWW! My lower back went out. I spent the rest of the day downing ibuprofen, icing my back, doing Healing Touch, and drinking wine to relieve the pain.
October 3
After a fitful night of sleep, my back was still being crabby, so I searched the Internet to look for a chiropractor in Saugerties. I picked the one who had the most positive reviews, called and got an appointment in the afternoon. The chiropractic adjustment was just what my back needed! I feel like a new woman.
We left the chiropractor and drove around the Catskill Mountains, then stopped at Woodstock. Although the famous Woodstock music festival in 1969 took place on a farm about 60 miles from town, this quirky village is all about music, art, and reliving the glory days of the late '60's and early '70's. We saw a few old hippies walking around who looked like they went to the Woodstock music festival and forgot to leave. Browsing through one of the shops, I felt 42 years younger as the smell of burning incense, the sounds of great music from the 60's, and the sight of tied-dyed articles of clothing transported me back to my days at St. Cloud State.
