Took off for Lambertville shortly after lunch. After a side trip to Ewing where I took a pic of our old house on Lower Ferry, we arrived about 1:00. Took the river walk first--out two miles, then two back.
What an excellent place to walk! It's a broad (cinder or something) path bounded on one side by the Delaware River and the other by the canal which was in use before the Revolutionary War. It's lined with towering trees, but you can still see and hear the rushing waters.
That's not to say it was comfy. Although the sun shone and the sky was a heavenly blue, it was cold. Very cold. And windy. Cold and windy. However, I had three layers on top and four on the bottom, plus a close-fitting wool hat, warm scarf, and two pair of gloves.
After Lambertville it was over the bridge to New Hope. Walked a bit around town, but it was filled with tourists perusing the not particularly attractive gift shops, so after a mile or so, it was back over to God's country. Ate lunch in the car, then drove to Trader Joe's in Princeton after a very enjoyable excursion.
