For the past two nights we have been staying in beautiful Rhinebeck, New York. This historic little town is nestled into the Northern New York Hudson Valley region with majestic views of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River. The area is so green and lush, simply gorgeous!

Rhinebeck is a sophisticated, wealthy town that takes pride in its Dutch History, scenic beauty, support for the Arts and accessibility to New York City and rural upstate New York.

The town centre boasts tree lined-streets with unique specialty shops and a thriving restaurant scene.

At our RV park, Poppy has been in paradise! Magnificent old trees are everywhere and a population of squirrels and chipmunks that any upstanding Jack-a-Bee would take pride in chasing!

And, oh my, has she chased each one that she has seen! At one stage this morning she was hyper-ventilating with excitement as a chipmunk almost ran over her foot and a big, fat squirrel took to the trees to avoid her. It was such fun watching her having such a good time!

Miss Poppy keeping guard for when the pesky squirrel comes down!

Still waiting!
