What a fun day.....rained during the night but then held off for most of the day. I got a manicure at Pharoh's Harum by Becca and then we walked to the Farmer's Market. Lots of good-looking food items, flowers, etc., but didn't see anything we had to have.
Drove to Rochester and toured the Susan B. Anthony home - really enjoyed that and now we know the story of how women's voting rights came to be and what an amazing woman she was. Our docent was Jillian and she was excellent! We were the only ones in our 11:15 tour so made it nice and personal. The group following us had at least 15-20 people.
Us outside the Anthony home on Madison Street - Rochester
After our tour we drove to Cheesy Eddie's - thought it was a lunch spot, but actually a pastry/coffee shop. But oh my....a real specialty pastry shop with all these wonderful cheesecakes (could buy by the slice, small or large cakes) - Mark had a piece of carrot cake and I had a chocolate chip w/cream cheese cookie. Both were EXCELLENT!!!
Off to John and Cindy's home and spent the afternoon chatting away - what a fun time to do more yakkin about our families, health issues, questions in the medical field for John, etc. He taught at the University of Rochester (residency students) and had his practice of Med/peds for 38 years.
It rained later in the afternoon
Around 5:30 we drove to the Mesquite Grill for delicious Mexican fare and more chatter. Said our good byes and on home. Such a fun time and a beautiful evening with the sun shining after the rain.
We stopped at Catrina shortly and then walked to Main Street - today was the Great Race of old cars which came to town - 150 oldies (1972 or earlier) from all over the world. They left Buffalo today and will be stopping at several towns all the way to Halifax over the next 9 days.
Most of them had left and the clean-up of vendors, loading up cars, etc., was going on, but did get to see some...
This one was called "Miss Daisy"
Check out the old-time head gear
One of the canal boats along the Erie that you can rent out for 3, 4 or 7 days.

So, it was another memorable day here in upstate New York.
