A little over a month ago, a pedestrian/biking path the new Tappan Zee Bridge (named after Governor Mario Cuomo) was opened. This evening, after a scorching day, I am planning to meet some friends to take a free shuttle from the Tarrytown train station to West Nyack, on the other side of the river, for a walk back along the path. It's a 3.6 mile (5.79km) walk back east. It's the sort of walk which should ordinarily take an hour, but with the scenery and the undoubted stops for hijinks, it should take us a bit longer than that... hopefully leaving time to dine in one of the charming restaurants in the charming village of Tarrytown, a town perhaps best summed up by this guy:
Hopefully, we'll get a glimpse of NEOWISE as we stroll along, though the bright lights of the bridge may interfere with any skygazing.
Anyway, speaking of bridges, how about an extremely earnest song by an extremely earnest band of Bono protégés? Here's the band Cactus World News playing the 1986 Self Aid concert:
Teh Wiki, which never lies, indicates that these guys reformed in the twenty-first century. I hope they are having a good run in this bad century, they always came across as nice, earnest guys.
YOur walk plan sounds lovely. Long walks are now beyond me because of arthritis, so swimming is the only exercise I take regularly, but I appreciate how important safe, pleasant routes are to general health and happiness.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!
It was the first real long walk I've taken since the onset of the 'rona. Hell, I've been pretty much a slug since March 7th, when we had our last judo classes and we coaches occupied the free time by fighting each other.
