Fairport, Erie Canal

When we left Brockport a few days ago we had planned to go directly to Pittsford, it's only 25 miles. But the lift bridge operator in Spencerport somehow had a timing problem, first he said it'll be 10 minutes wait, 10 minutes later he's still at another lift bridge, so we called again, this time it's another 10 minutes, we waited and waited, meantime two boats that were tied at the Spencerport town dock left the dock, so we decided to tie up and stay. Later, we learned that the lift bridge operator at that time was a relief operator from another town and didn't quite have his timing. So we end up visiting the Captive Life Forms reptile shop and the Used Book Store that we didn't get to see on our early stop in this town. Mark and I each bought about 7 books, most of them at $.50 each.

The next day we traveled 24 miles to Fairport, this is a friendly tourist town with many shops and restaurants. We attended the Friday night concert at the Gazebo by the Rochester Jazz Orchestra and had a delicious dinner at Joey B's restaurant by the canal
