Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
As I sat on the deck on only the second Monday of my summer break, I was feeling kind of astounded by how much I’ve done already…I worked a couple of nights at The Aviary, drove to Wellfleet where I enjoyed 3 full days of activity, spent the day poolside at Victoria Pool as the … Continue reading 3 fantastic days on the outer Cape
