Land of Lawns

Upstate New Yorkers have amazing lawns. It seems as if everyone has a golf course in the front of their house, therefore Upstate New York is now officially named Land of Lawns. Yesterday we road roughly 55 miles but I wouldn't call it rough. Our journey took us along the Erie Canal, which meant we didn't have to deal with cars just a dirt paths instead, it was beautiful. We camped out along the trail at the base of a corn field and Michael was very concerned about trespassing so we were on our bikes around 5 am. We just passed into Canada, saw Niagra Falls (it's pretty neat, you all should see it), spent too much time visiting useless visitor centers, and now I am scoping out routes on the internet. I think we'll take highway 3, but I let you know if plans change. Till then - Happy Summer! By the way our butts are sore, why didn't anyone warn us?!! :-)
