Another mostly uneventful day on th Erie canal. We made one stop in Albion to pick up a new camera. As a plus, we saw a bunch of old churches and cool architecture in the town. We paddled a little more than 30 miles today and ended up just east of Spencerport. A storm cut us short from getting to the park we were planning on camping in a couple miles from where we are now, but we lucked out in that we found some more awesome people who are letting us camp in their yard. Not only that, but Bev and Cindy, a mother and daughter, invited us into their beautiful home that was built in 1813, fed us, are letting us use their bathroom, and are going to give us breakfast in the morning! They have some nice cats, a garden and ducks. The ducks are adorable. We met Cindy's nephew, Josh, who is a music major and plays, of all things, the euphonium! It's not every day one meets another euphonium player. He also plays ultimate frisbee, a sport Jay played in college. This has been a pretty good day.

ReplyDeleteBev and Cindy are my Grandma and Aunt! They were extremely excited to have met you and to have been part of your adventure.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up what a euphonium was. I think you need a video clip of you playing the euphonium in the kayak...perhaps a round of "row, row, row your boat"?
ReplyDeleteperhaps when I get back to Michigan, that can be arranged :P
