Pictures Day 1 - 2

LA airport before we knew it was going to be a 3 hour delay. The smile soon evaporated.

The front of the Vanderbilt mansion built shortly before 1900 and was out of style within a few years. Some rooms really reminded us of Hearst Castle.

What do you do it you don't want neighbors watching your back yard - buy the far bank of the river and pay to have a convent buit there. You can see the beginning of the fall colors on some of the trees but it has a long way to go. A train track is right below us and the trains are quite noisy. Would that bother you? Maybe but when you own the railroad it is the sound of money.

Side and back porch of the mansion. It really is on a lovely overlook of the Hudson River.
