Side trip: Poughkeepsie
I read online about a pedestrian bridge over the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, part of a much longer walkway, and I decided that this would be a summer Road Trip to get me out of the house. While I enjoy walking in Brooklyn, I still want to feel like I've gone places and done something in the summertime. Even if it's just walking. I might a loop because a map suggested it -- probably not the best idea for reasons I'll get into later. After that, I was off to Beacon for another walk and for something to eat. I had another stop planned but this took longer than exprected, which was fine. My goal was to fill a day, so better to have too much planned than not enough. I didn't look into how much money (or time) the train would've been. It might've been cheaper but not likely faster than driving since I was traveling alone. However, I planned multiple stops. That said, the one place that I knew I could park was the municipal lot outside the train station...
