In Hudson

Hudson New York.

Key-less closing on house tomorrow, walk-through this afternoon to ensure it's standing, night solo in Hudson town at Union Street Guest House (free plug, they gave a discount and my room's the size of my apartment + bath ammenities AVEDA). Weird to be:

In a hotel
In America
On my own
With cable TV

Not like India at all and yet I'm traveling and, to some extent, the thrill is the same. There was a journey here - Amtrak runs along the Hudson River straight north from New York, I walked with my bags from the Hudson station - and considered dining alone (wimped out - that part's easier when snide commenets are made in Hindi).

The tiny trip's invigorated me, here's to the journey.
