We've Got To Stop Meeting Like This

New Paltz is an old, artsy village, home to a university, and located in the heart of the Shawangunk Mountains, near Mohonk and Minnewaska. CMI is sprinkled with mention of the absolute beauty of these places. We love driving in that direction and did so, yesterday.
Christian had mentioned a funky, hole-in-the-wall restaurant that he and Dawn liked; so, we gave it a try. Rock Da Pasta offers made-to-order fare, boasting all fresh, pure ingredients. Wait-time is enhanced by a steady stream of rockin' music, barstools have guitar backrests, and old albums adorn the walls. They are graded, framed and for sale.

And so, we dined with Neil. There he was in his rightful place, amongst a slew of rock 'n' roll Hall Of Famers. Smile. Even Joe has to admit that the guy refuses to stop following 
me around.
