North Fork/Shelter Island min-vacation Aug 2010 - a set on Flickr

Photos from our mini-vacation on Long Island's North Fork and Shelter Island where we saw our friends Yehudit Moch and Judith Ullman at the Dragonfly Festival and at their cottage in Southhold and celebrated my cousins Eric and Gail Shube's 25th anniversary on Shelter Island. We stayed in a cottage at the Silver Sands Motel (which has its own private beach) in Greenport, NY on the North Fork of Long Island. On Sunday we visited with the Shube mishpachah at Eric and Gail's summer home on Shelter Island, and Eric and his daughters Melissa and Julia treated us to a ride on their speed boat.

Sunday in Manhattan

Shoshana and I spent a splendid Sunday in Manhattan. We started at The High Line Park, continued south along the Hudson River Park, then walked back north and east to Greenwich Village where we had a lovely dinner at Sacred Chow, a kosher vegan restaurant that specializes in tapas.
