An Eventful Summer

This summer was one of the most eventful of all. Taking advantage of the pleasant weather as well as the opportunity to be able to put my driving to use, we executed our travel plans.

Our first trip was to 'Harpers Ferry'. It is a small historic town in West Virginia (WV), located at the confluence of Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. A perfect setting of natural andcultural amalgamation, Harpers Ferry is a must see.

NYC was the next destination on my list. Being a neighbour
of NYC, it took more than 3 years to experience this beautiful city. The first day, we toured Staten Island, Empire State, Wall Street and not to forget most important of all 'The Times Square'.
The second day, thanks to our friend, we decided to
experience the beautiful and serene
'Lake Minnewaska', 75 mi north of NYC.
An ideal place for hiking, picnic and to
experience the nature at its close proximity.
We chose to take the shortest trail to
have a close look at the waterfalls and the lake.




In July, I set off on the longest roadtrip from Philadelphia - Boston (271 mi) in the second week of July. The most interesting picture is on display. This picture is of a 'camera truck' on the borders of New York and Connecticut.







End of July, we set off to see the amazing million-dollar home lodged in the beautiful woods of Mill Run, built by a great American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright for the family of Kaufmann's. The uniqueness of
this work is that the house is built on a waterfall,
preserving the memories of the Kaufmann's
childhood.








Our final destination was a visit to the 'Roaring Niagara'. A breath-taking view of the falls on the 'Maid of the Mist' boat ride and an opportunity to experience the river force on the 'Hurricane Deck', it was a perfect trip to end my summer travel.
