What A Difference a Day Makes

Well, after a day of doing nothing, high humidity and even higher temps, today is fantastic.

It rained all night last night, and apparently was a bit windy too......which took out all the humidity.
Today the high was 75, and it was really, really nice. Sunny blue skies and very comfortable.

We left St. Johnsville at 8:00AM and arrived at the Greater Amsterdam Riverlink Park at 12:15PM.....just in time to call a chinese restaurant that delivers and had some lunch.


Amsterdam's Riverlink Park


Playground at the park

There were only four locks on this leg today and all went well. A reporter from the Amsterdam Dispatch just left, she interviewed Dottie and I for an upcoming article on the Erie Canal, and it's users.

Here are some pictures I took of this, the most modern marina on the canal as far as I know.



Wedding tent which remains up all season

This is how pedestrians get into the park.....you park across the street, walk across a breezeway, and take an elevator to the park. Rumor has it, that Amsterdams park cost a mere 5 million. It was well worth it, from what we were told by residents.
