Arrived in NY.

We pulled out of the middle of PA this morning and headed further east. It only took about 2 and half hours but we made it to New York state after passing over the Blue Ridge Mtns and wind about the Poconos through Scranton and over the Western Hills of NY. It's hard to believe that just 9o minutes from here is the Big Apple. It is so different.
New Paltz is an interesting town. There is a small river that separates two different worlds. On the Eastern side is the college town with hippies, shirtless street musicians, unshaved pitted women, and various "spiritual" shops, Alternative clubs, etc. On the other side are the farms and generally conservative world that goes with ag. The mayor of this town made news this year when he (a just graduated from college kid) started performing same sex marriage in spite of the law.
We went to the fairgrounds first since we had to drop the trailer off in the labyrinth of kiosks, trailers, etc that make up the fairgrounds before 4pm when the grounds open to the public. We left the boys (Miles, James and Nick) to set up the show and perform a sample show for the public at 6pm. The girls, Victor and I went to Lowes to pick up a few supplies, then to the store to pick up tonight and tomorrow's meals. There are some great cheeses you just can't get anywhere else.
The boys just called and told me the audience was packed for their sample show. They apparently loved it. Miles is ahving trouble with the flame transfer on the tongue so I will go over it with him tomorrow.
