Lyons, NY

On Thursday, September 27 Addie and Lange were flying home to Miami but first we went out for breakfast together at a little local restaurant.  They called an Uber and left shortly afterwards. We really appreciate the Kings taking the time to  celebrate Lynn’s birthday with us!



We shoved off at 11:40 bound for Lyons.  The landscape continues to be stunning all along the canal, as beautiful as anywhere we’ve been on this trip.  The bridges we go through are equally picturesque.




And we continue to pass under some under some very low ones.  Scary!




The day was fully absorbed by the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings  with Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh.  Lynn was totally glued to the radio even after we docked at the Lyons town dock.

Lyons had a great dock for us to tie up at - right next to a very nice firehouse where there were large comfortable restrooms and showers.  We were delighted to see this sign when we walked up to the fire station.



A very nice couple cane by to welcome us to Lyons with a goody bag and a sprig of peppermint.  Lyons was once the peppermint oil capital of the world.



We didn’t even bother to walk through town because Lynn was so transfixed by the hearings.  But with lots of turkey chili leftovers and salad, we had a satisfying dinner.
