Trivoli lies in the north west part of town of Red Hook, County of Dutchess. It is one hundred miles north of New York, just above North Bay on the Hudson River and forty-four mile south of Albany, the State Capitol. It is one of the most beautifully located villages along the Hudson. (A Brief History of Tivoli, by Lela Moore) I hope I cited that right. I am looking at the booklet that Lela Moore wrote right now. It is one of the originals. I assume there is a box of them shoved away in the house somewhere. We drove for at least ten hours yesterday. I woke up at a huge, creepy, old, fight club like mansion. The house is really old and dusty and filled with some old lady's junk from a million years ago. Living among it is Sasha our amazing host. The tour consisted of us walking from one creepy room to the next. Some kept and used, some disregarded in the vastness of the house. "The bathrooms only work on the third and basement floors". Shit was the the third or the forth? We went on the roof, I don't really remember that. It might not even have been here. We started filming a horror movie where Randy just needs some friends. I got dragged across the ground twice. It was fun. Cassie and I slept in a room that was not unlike a room at her families cabin in Long Beach. Waking up to Sasha's baked goods from her place of employment was nice. Everyone just sitting on the enormous front porch staring out at the Hudson River. We went in to town and ate at a small burrito cart on the side of the road which was fun. We drank beer and Randy, Ryan, Sasha and I went out in the river in a canoe and kayak. I was in the middle while Sasha and Randy rowed. We went across this huge river to Saugerties Lighthouse and back. It was awesome. Now everyone is gone (to town) and its just me, music and typing and the occasional train passing by.
