A quaint little New England town on Route 7 in Connecticut bordering New York. Population 2,858 in 2000 census (wiki).
The Kent Coffee Chocolate shop is lovely. They’re having a car show however, we didn’t find it.
An interesting read on the Atlantic about the little free library.
On our way home, we take the route 7, which is a north-south highway in the western New England – wiki. It’s also known for antiques/antiquing.

My favorite wine & cheese store in Tanglewood. The food they offer is more suitable for picnic. The $39.99 for 4 bottle of World Wide Stout beer. Oh boy.
The Applewood smoke duck is really good. So it the Rosali cracker and salmon.
We drive by from Hyde Park on Route 9 from FDR’s home to Tanglewood. The downtown is pretty neat, quaint. It is well known for the culinary Institute too.

First Friday of August, the parking lot @ Franklin Roosevelt’s home is full, on a stormy afternoon. We ‘re driving to Tanglewood on Route 9 from Poughkeepsie.
Join the FDRs for an afternoon tea, or reading?

2021, finally.
On our way to Tanglewood, we made a stop at Poughkeepsie, fully prepared to walk over the New Jersey. It can be seen from CIA.
First, it is NOT on the map of iPhone and Google map – the bridge is opened in 2010.
Second, 1/4 to NJ, we are told to turn back because of the impending storm. Oh well. A snake disappearing.
We missed the direction, and ended up at Hoffman by Route 9. The small parking lot cost $5 for 4 hours. The north of the bridge is in construction. What would it be?

2019 Beethoven weekend
We haven’t been to Tanglewood for a few years. The forecast says rain on both days. However, both days turn out to be great, endless sunshine. There are many upgrades. The compound is very nicely kept.
Ozawa served as the music director for BSO for 29 years, guess he deserves a hall named after him @ Tanglewood. It’s opened in 1994, gorgeous, inside and out. I prefer to sit outside because I feel it sounds better. Beside I can also hear the sound of trees, its leaves and wind too. I’ve never been there at night – can’t speak about stars in the skies.
