Fri. After our bible study we drove to several covered bridges (picture below). This county has 18 covered bridges, the shortest (18 feet), and longest (613 feet) in the US. The bridges were built from 1867 to 2010. After visiting bridges we drove to Conneaut, Ohio and had lunch at White Turkey Drive-In (picture above bottom right two). We had a delicious turkey sandwich, onion rings, and the root beer float. From there we drove on the scenic byway to Ashtabula. We watched an unusual bridge raise up, the coal train cars, watched someone roast coffee, and went to a chocolate shop that made all his chocolate.(ALL THOSE PICTURES WERE SADDLY DELETED SOMEHOW) Then back to the scenic byway to, Geneva-on-the-lake. It was a very busy touristy town. We did like the Geneva State Park on the other side of town. After dinner I got the truck washed, we walked and played cards.
Sat. and Sun. All of the top pictures is at Conneaut Beach and Light House. We went back to Ashtabula on Sunday to the farmers market. The middle four right pictures is the unusual bridge, conveyor belt that goes over the river and the coffee shop pictures that we deleted on Fri. They grind there own coffee! Bottom three left is us at the Walnut Beach in Ashtabula looking for glass rocks (glass from old ships that have come to shore). Bottom right two pictures is the longest Covered bridge in the US. 2nd row left is 3 of Aunt Jill’s 5 children,her granddaughter Kim and great granddaughter. The picture was taken at my cousin’s Shirley home. Where we had a lovely dinner and visit with Shirley, Janie(another cousin and her husband Dave. When we got home on Sun. we went on a bike ride then played miniature golf. Finally after three times I got back to my usual swing.
Mon. After our bible study we did the laundry, ate, then to the post office to get the mail. We spent the rest of the day paying the bills. We got the rig ready to leave, went on our last bike ride, and played miniature golf.
Tues. We left for Niagara Falls N.Y. this morning. As we got to the N.Y. State line we stopped to get tickets for tours, we look at the dates and realized we were to leave Wed. We tried again and again to call our campground but no answer. Top right picture we traveled along a river as you can see it is moving very fast and the canal along the shore is still. When we got here we found they had an emergency and were closed so we picked a spot. After we got settled in we went to Beaver Island State Park here on Grand Island(bottom 2 left). We were told about a sandwich and custard place so on the way home we got a roast beef sandwich with horse radish on a wic bun(special bun with rye and sea salt) When we got home we had corn on the cob with our delicious sandwich and for dessert, a banana splits (bottom right). We played cards Linda won again.
Wed. Linda woke up with a headache and not feeling good. She still wanted to go to Buffalo NY. Top left picture is bridge going to Canada and the next 2 some of the churches downtown. The middle pictures are the original Buffalo wings. Yes this is where buffalo wings got its start. The pictures are taken in the restaurant, we got them to go and ate at the canalside. The top right and bottom pictures taken from that area. On the way home we stopped at Tim Horton’s for coffee.
