Heading into Rochester, the weather was questionable.
Well a picture here giving you a sense of how cloudy and rainy it's been. Still, would have liked to give you a picture of the grain fields (which are breathtaking) we pass by but the mileage has been putting some pressure against us picture takers.
Bah got another anyway. Passed by an apple (?) orchard.
At our lunch stop, where we were next to a lake (which feeds into Lake Huron?).
Took some shelter at the "Fly By Night Cookie Company". Was envisioning a huge industrial complex churning out cookies, but it was in fact an adorably cozy little cottage with jars of cookies.
On our ride into Rochester, we saw some nasty little clouds coming up. But that doesn't bother us! Pah!
WELL the raindrops were giving us a beating to the point we couldn't see where we were going, so we took refuge in a gas station, where we passed the time listening to this man talk to us about Vermont's history and his experiences in World War II. One of the most eye-opening parts of this trip so far.
At RIT, one single person cooked all 30 of us dinner, and we sat around one huge table eating. It was a lot of food and a lot of table.
The next day, there were some volunteer opportunities at a Habitat build site. We got to meet the homeowner there. Three of us put up insulation in the basement.
Today, we're in Lockport, so named because of the water locks in the canal which allowed ships to pass through. A bunch of us took a tour, where the guide showed us around and told us a lot of the history of the place.
In a tunnel made to channel water to power factories back in the day, in which we would later ride a boat.
UPSIDE DOWN BRIDGE!There's so much more to write, but this library computer has a little clock at the top ticking away my time.
Later!
TOMORROW we're heading to Niagara Falls, and only have 20 miles of riding to do. Which means tons of time to spend in the city, so stay tuned next time for...
