Day 289-290 July 30-31 Rondout Yacht Basin Kingston NY

 
 
Warren Street in Hudson is like being on the Atlantic Seaboard.  The city still reflects its heritage as a whaling port in the early 19th century.  Fearing a British retaliation after the American Revolution, a group of Nantucket whalers moved inland to the Hudson River shoreline and incorporated a city in 1785.  Today there are more than 70 antique shops that bring the New York City designers to town.  Sorry to say my pictures aren't that great....too much sun...
