An Amtrak ride from Albany to NYC takes approximately 2.5 hours. For much of the trip, the tracks skirt the Hudson River. Just outside Beacon, if you look out into the water, you can see an island capped with the ruin of what appears to be a castle. Very inspirational even at a glance. I don’t know if I’ll ever get there, but thought I’d write about it anyway, in case one of my readers has, and cares to enlighten me.
