Day 4 was the most relaxing of our trip. We got up later and didn't have any real plans. Kerrie left for work early and Walker slept late. We got a breakfast sandwich and coffee from the deli at the Dorick (the name of Walker's co-op) and just lounged around. When Walker got up we just visited. For lunch we went to a Mexican restaurant on Bergenline Road in Weehawken via the Bergenline van. It was a different experience as the employees didn't speak English very well. Walker got to practice his Spanish (He asked for the "cuenta" when we were ready to leave. That really impressed the waitress.) We had enchiladas but they were different from the ones we get here. Quite good though. We also had their specialty, puposas, which was also the name of the restaurant. After eating we walked down Bergenline looking at several shops. Walker showed us a shirt he wanted to wear to the wedding. We joked that it would make him look like a waiter. One of us mentioned that perhaps people would put tips in the pockets thinking he was an employee of the resort. We eventually got on the Bergenline van and rode back to Walker's. Kerrie was home from work. After visiting for a while we drove to Hoboken and ate at a sidewalk cafe. The food was very good. Walker then drove us to the airport and we caught our flight home. We spent about 45 minutes waiting to take off. Weather problems in the East had the planes backed up. We did arrive in Milwaukee on time. We then drove back to the Quad Cities. Gromit was really glad to see us. We had a great time.

About Me
- Name: don
- Location: Midwest, United States
I have been retired for about seven years now. I enjoy retirement immensely as it gives me time to pursue my interests. One of my interests is model railroading. I have been interested in this hobby for many years as I got my first electric train when I was three. The layout I have now I started about eighteen years ago. This has provided me with many hours of pleasure. Another of my interests is painting. I began by painting backdrops for my model railroad. I then started painting landscapes, still lifes, and have painted three portraits. Recently I got a lot of barnboard and have been painting on it, creating yard art. My wife and I enjoy going to plays and see as many as we can. We are fortunate that we have several excellent local theatres within driving distance of our home. I also enjoy musicals. I have seen Miss Saigon and Rent recently. Gardening, church work, and reading also keeps me busy. I enjoy many types of literature, but have been reading mystery novels lately. Within the past two years I have read all of the Tony Hillerman novels and all of the Sue Grafton mystery novels. Both are excellent writers.
