Deviations are Welcome

This was the last day of my walk from Stamford to Secaucus.  This segment would start at the George Washington Bridge (GWB). The plan was to get off at 125^th Street and take the subway to the (GWB).

Well, I got on the wrong subway and luckily realized it.  I got off at 135^th Street. At this point I decided to deviate from my plan and walk all the way up to the GWB. It was so worth it.  There are brownstone buildings all over Harlem  in New York City.  I have seen many. These brownstones were just elegant.  In the middle of the walk is this beautiful house. I would recommend for everyone to

walk the upper West Side of NY sometime.

Crossing the Bridge, I was able to get a view of the New York Skyline. Unfortunately, you can see the cloud cover blocked a lot of the view.

Reaching New Jersey, I deviated again.  The plan was to walk along Route One. I chose the River Road instead which ran along the Hudson River and it was a potpourri of architecture.  Houses, Apartments, Giant Apartments, and a lot of commercial buildings.  Always with New York City in the background.

The final deviation was in West New York, New Jersey.  The terminal for the ferry to NYC was there.  Time to take the ferry back to Manhattan. The ferry was

ten minutes, and I met a person who travels the country by Motorcycle. He has ridden over 150,000 miles all over the country. He mentioned you see so much more when you get out of a car.  My thoughts exactly.

I believe my next walking journey will be the Hudson River starting in NYC. There are trains along the route.  Hopefully I will start this summer.
