Our first stop was to the town of Palmyra, NY- that is located on the Erie Canal (and is famous as the town where Joseph Smith found the Mormon tablets in his manure pile). We hoped to see the touristy side of the canal. Turns out that Palmyra town is a few block from the canal- so we got a lot of walking in as we toured the canal and then the downtown.
Along the canal we met this marmot (see him in the bottom right corner)
The town has resurrected this original canal bridge in their city park
Here is their information poster on how they saved the bridge.
Although Palmyra is does not appear to be a very wealthy town- there were some very stunning homes. We loved this one...
The local summer time hot-dog stand was not open on Sunday when we happened upon it, but we couldn't resist taking a picture of their sign. Apparently there is another Kurt with an appetitie for BLUE hot dogs!
