Woodlands Swimming Complex 
Woodgrove Condos in Woodlands Singapore, our next home?
Hiking again.
The kids slept poorly last night. Edda, my little sleep interrupter, woke up at 5:30 and refused to go to sleep again. Vince got up at 6:30 and wanted pancakes for breakfast. Unfortunatly, we have no milk in the house, so no pancakes.
Edda and I went hiking this morning in two places, Nelsonville and in Hopewell Junction. I really must get my jogging stroller back from Bob and Katherine’s house.
I’m going to be up at Bard this weekend, so that’s where you can reach me if anyone feels like calling! No internet, so no blogging from me. Have a nice weekend everybody!
This is in Nelsonville the beginning of the Hudson Highland wilderness area. Again, wrong stroller for the job.
This stroller was not meant to cross this mud/stick bridge.
Near the East Fishkill sports complex. There is a little river where people fish.
Sleeping again.
I just want to spend the afternoon in bed. Oh well. We went to the last library storytime of the season today hoping to see Esther, Caleb and Grace there, but they had called while I was on the phone with Jeremy and cancelled because Caleb woke up all sick and grouchy which was just fine because my children were not behaving like little angels today. PB and J for lunch and no naps!

A Nice Walk
This morning I woke up bright and early at 5AM (after a very good sleep) and had a nice walk around the area near my hotel. Starting at Swissotel (which is next to the park on the right of the map below) I went down to the water, around the Esplanade (a big movie theater complex at the bottom right) and up the Singapore river. Then I went up into Fort Canning park (which is the big green thing on the left). It is a big hill where some of the earliest buildings in Singapore’s history are located, and it is now a nice park for a walk. I walked all the way around, although I could not read the signs since the sun did not come out until the end my walk. I was a little surprised that a restaurant on top called sunrise cafe was not open at sunrise. Then I went back to my hotel, had a nice talk with Doris, had breakfast, and took the subway to work. The subway ride was not too crowded, since I was going oposing traffic, and I felt quite awake and with it listening to the ipod and reading the Asian Wall Street Journal. It has also been a good day work.
