Day 4

forgot to add tht we stayed the night at Lockport NY. Got up and went for a cruise--on the Erie Canal. Went through Lock 35 went up 65 feet. The canal goes up 363 feet in 363 miles--the differnce between the Hudson River near Troy NY and Lake Erie near Buffalo. Some pleasure boats went thru with us and reminded me of when we took the Houseboat up and down the Mississippi. The older girls and David Wartowski held the ropes holding us near the wall--we watched these people do the same thing. We rode on the cruise next to a lwidow lady (originally from England)who now lives in a motor home and travels around the country and visits her daughters who are in Louisianna, Austin, TX and Alberta, Canada. She pulls a car behind her and parks the motor home in a RV park and drives to whatever she wants to see. She has a little terrier who travels with her--even flies with her under the seat.

after Lockport drove to Rome NY for the night--tomorrow the Adirondacks--maybe we'll see the original chairs.
