The Holiday Season in New York

Even though we're well into the New Year I've decided it's not too late to take a quick look back at how I spent the holidays. Obviously I went back to NYC, a city I fell in love with when I was 9 years old on a visit with relatives on my way to summer camp in New Hamprshire. Almost 30 years later I still can't get enough. Sigh. Here's a shot from Rockefeller Center which is a must during the holidays.

After I got my fill of the city, Ofir and I took a drive upstate to spend a few days in the Catskills. Even though we stayed near Hunter Mountain, we spent most of our time in Woodstock and nearby Pheonicia . . . a route we've slowly turned into a ritual of coffee, snacks, shopping and general revelry in the beautiful scenery along the way.

We stayed at a lovely B&B called the Rosehaven Inn. It's nestled along a country road just inside the woods. As we drove in a fog had just descended on fresh snow. The rooms have fireplaces and lovely views. We were almost sad to leave after our visit, but alas we had to get back to the city to soak in more of the electric vibe and good company we both love . . . before I had to dash back to work in Amsterdam.
