Today was our planned rest day--our second day in Hyde Park, hosted by my good friend Valerie Hail at her B&B. We started the day with a designer breakfast, prepared by two graduates of the Culinary Institute of America, which is located less than a mile from Valerie's place. I spent most of my day in Valerie's cottage on my laptop attempting to catch up on my business emails, which I had not checked since last Friday. At the end of today I still wasn't caught up.
Philip spent his day touring some of the local sites. He rode his bike across the beautiful new Mid-Hudson Bridge and back. Later he and I went to the FDR estate and toured the grounds.
We ended the day with dinner at a restaurant overlooking the Hudson River, with Valerie and her beau Steve. It's back to cycling tomorrow, but not until after one more designer breakfast at the B&B.
"Robert's Ride 2010" is the 12th Annual Donation Drive for the Robert Martin Maillet Memorial Fund--"Robert's Fund". Robert's Fund was established in 1999 at the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, in memory of 14 month old Robert, and his parents, Denis and Karen Domingue Maillet, who were among the 229 passengers who perished in the crash of SwissAir Flight 111 off the coast of Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, on September 2, 1998. The mission of Robert's Fund is to help children in need.
