Rock Climbing --- 4/11/2008 - 4/13/2008 --- Gunks

Spent the weekend in the Catskills with Meredith. We went to the Gunks and climbed No Picnic. Also walked along the Esopus, stopped at the Red Dog Antique Shop, and spent a very fun afternoon at the Kaatskill Kaleidoscope, the world's largest kaleidoscope. The attached store in the Emerson Resort has some amazing kaleidoscopes. Definitely not kid's toys. Priced for adults too. Rich adults.
