Walked over the Hudson

We will leave the boat on the mooring and drive back to Tennessee starting tomorrow.  We rented the car today and decided to be tourist for a while.  An old RR bridge in Poughkeepsie has been turned into a walking bridge.  It is the longest walking bridge in the world.  It is 1.2 miles long and over 200 feet above the Hudson.  It was a spectacluar view.  We would send a picture except we forgot to take the camera.  After the walk we were hungry and we drove to the CIA headquarters and had lunch.  What a place!  The buildings are done with such good design everwhere.  The have many alcoves and sitting areas overlooking the Hudson River.  The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) is world renown for the chefs they produce.  After the big lunch, we drove to the Vanderbilt mansion on our way back to the yacht club.  This mansion belonged to the Commodore's grandson, Fredrick Vanderbilt and it not as elaborate as the Biltmore, but elegant just the same. We also drove through the grounds of the Roosevelt mansion.  F D's, but not Eleanor's.  Seems they had separate mansions!
