As we move into summer 2020 and the pandemic month 3 I’m reflecting on last summer’s adventures. We are all ready to be out and enjoying some sun. Yes, it will be different but sending positive vibes and suggesting exploring locally. What special place do you have at your doorstep? I am lucky to have the Erie Canal. I posted about this last summer, perhaps you read it.
A brief history to it-The goal was to link the Atlantic Ocean to the midwestern states so they constructed the Erie Canal to connect to the Hudson River and it was opened in 1825 as a link to the great lakes, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. With this many bedroom communities set up factories and a home and they are still thriving as quaint family suburbs today. Do you automatically want to break out in song “15 miles on the Erie Canal” or Low Bridge Everybody Down” (Thomas S. Allen) when Erie Canal is mentioned? Another fine place, body of water in the Buffalo Niagara region to discover.
