Jennifer, it's hard to believe that in 1609 - 400 years ago - Henry Hudson sailed the Half Moon up the river that he discovered...

Jennifer, I'm a huge reader it sounds like it would be totally down my alley. Wow 400 years of writing how incredible. I'm reading a book on prayer right now that was written in the 1850's and it just blows me away at how relevant it is to today. I guess some things never change!

I love the variety I find when I'm browing through the Things to Do/Places to Visit group. This sounds lke a great way to spend half a day, or maybe even a whole day. I love books! I love to read them, collect them, and I actually feel good to see my bookshelves full of them. lol =D

Brian- That is for sure, I wonder what he would think today?

Marchel - There is always so much to discover, I remember a time when I use to read about 5 books each week. Any money I had was spent in the bookstore. I even worked in a library and was involved with book selection for rural areas.

Lisa That is a nice hobby, even with the availabilty of information on the internet, there is still some information that can still be found only in a book.

Paddy - This is a great year to learn about the history of the area, so many events.
