Next we headed over to the other side of the bridge to Lambertville, NJ. I remember it being small with a few antique shops when we used to go there, but now it is wall to wall shops and restaurants and is a little less commercial than New Hope. After lunch we found a spot along the canal with a view of a restaurant with a number of open umbrellas and a small bridge.
Rick is the husband of my friend, Suzala, and he is a prince. He often drives us to our sketching locations in the city and very conveniently drops us off as close to where we are meeting as possible. This time he and Suzala invited me to join them on a trip to New Hope, PA and Lambertville, NJ. The towns are across the river from each other. I haven't been down there in at least 25/30 years. The trip down took about 2 1/2 hrs, so I entertained myself by sketching my view of Rick from the back seat of their car. For some reason the sketching in the car seems bumpier than sketching on the train. I think the car is an up-down motion and the train is side to side. That's my theory anyway!
