Although I moved to Long Island, New York in the 1960s, I had never traveled much "upstate" (anything north of New York City).

In early August, I visited my brother and his wife at their home in western Massachusetts. While there, we attended a concert at the Mount Holyoke Summit House and another by the Boston Symphony Orchestra At Tanglewood.
On my way back to Long Island, I visited MASSMoCA, the contemporary art museum in North Adams, MA and then drove to the top of Mount Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts, which was nearby.
