Lest it not be evident to even the most casual observer, the reason I like traveling with Bruce is that every day is like Christmas or Hanukkah. You wake up early to open your presents. With Bruce, the presents are numerous and wonderful. This trip has a number of activities that are “firsts” (although these occur frequently with a BNEA event) and we learned a lot. We met in Albany after a show week and here are the photos and descriptions.<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

Let me also say that the Albany and upstate New York area is very weird. We were looking for a street in Woodstock and couldn’t find it. We couldn’t find anything in Woodstock. When we stopped for directions, Bruce said to a guy, “Nobody knows anything around here!”\u00a0The guy said, “Welcome to Woodstock.”<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Then we stopped at a Dunkin’ Donuts thinking we could find something to eat. We asked Ashley if she could direct us to a restaurant where we could get a pastrami sandwich.\u00a0She said, “What’s pastrami?”<\/i><\/span>\u00a0Needless to say, we laughed, and laughed, and laughed… ! Oh, my god… I’m laughing as I write this!<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n

The Albany Government Complex<\/strong><\/a>– A view of Albany from the observation deck of Government Center. One of my best photos came from there.<\/h5>\n
Rhinebeck Aerodrome Air Show and Plane Crash<\/a> – One of the Top 10 Bruce finds. I was a pilot and this impressed me greatly.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n

Bruce was disappointed by the cleanliness of the place. He expected it to be dripping with water, oozing with mud and generally more gnarly than it was. We took the last tour and got to walk back in the dark with candle lanterns. I thought it was cool.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
