Day 1: Newton, MA to Erie, PA contd.









Probably the coolest random stop on the first day was in Seneca Falls, NY, right in the heart of the finger lakes. Alex recommended stopping by, saying how much aura the place has; and sure enough she was spot on. We made a last minute turn off the highway, and drove the 5 miles into the town center. We drove over a really neat truss bridge (circa 1930's?), and eventually found this old wool mill that was still standing. While we stood there admiring it, we met a nice local woman who happened to be a docent at the womans suffrage museum in town. We talked for a bit and she gave us a ton of information about the town (that truss bridge in town was the inspiration for the bridge in "Its a Wonderful Life")










Can't go By Buffalo, NY without dropping by the falls.









Pictures definately don't do Niagra falls justice; while its a tourist trap, its still worth dropping by to check out!

When we went to Niagra for the bike trip, I threw a little parachute man down into the falls. True story.

I'm so glad you liked Seneca Falls! It sounds like you two are having so much fun... Can't wait to hear all about the adventures.
Love you and miss you,
Alex
