On Friday, July 30, I drove to Saratoga Springs to visit Jeff. Amy also arrived at Jeff’s on Friday.


On Saturday, we took a boat trip starting from Albany, heading downstream on the Hudson and returning to Albany. That afternoon, we visited Thatcher State Park (also called the escarpment) and hiked the Indian Ladder Trail.


On Sunday, we spent the day at the Saratoga Race track. We were joined by Karen, organizer of the FANY ride, Amy, one of Jeff’s coworkers, and Brian, her husband. There had been a lot of rain recently and there was more rain while we were at the track. It started around race 6 (out of 10) and there was a weather delay before race 9. But they got all the races in.


On Monday, I drove home.
