Lyons

It rained all night again last night after we arrived in Fairport, but by morning, it had stopped. 

Since we didn't have a chance to walk around Fairport when we arrived in the rain, we spent a couple of hours this morning looking at the hysterical homes.  Pam even found a hysterical museum, and you can see the "OPEN" sign in the door.  However, it's only open on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursday.  (It was Monday.)

We found another tribute to Sal.

This pontoon was tied up right in front of us.  The name on the boat was "Tacky Tiki"  It's not to clear in the photos, but it even has leopard skin seat covers.  Way Cool !

We departed Fairport and made our way to Lyons. Another town with a hysterical museum that's closed on Mondays. The fall foliage is in full bloom.

Wildlife along the canal consists of hunderts of herons and kingfishers.

 

And a few fish.

We're tied to the FREE wall in Lyons, hooked up to the FREE electric.  However, I think they were expecting bigger boats.

We can climb on the roof and step off on the wall.

 

While we were walking around downtown Lyons, our daughter called to tell us she was in our neighborhood and stopped by our house to check on things.  She discovered that the water heater was spewing out water.  We've been away for more than two weeks, so we were concerned how deep the water might be on the first floor. She told us that she was going to get some of her valuable stuff out of her old bedroom on the second floor.  (She's 40, and still has stuff at our house.)

We can't speed up our return trip home.  The locks close a 5pm, so we're limited in our canal travel time.  The earliest we can leave here is Wednesday.  Fortunately, our son-in-law has a Serv-Pro business.  So he went over to our house and shut the water off, drained the water heater, and started drying things out.  I'm sure when we get there, it will be "like it never happened."
