Tonawanda

26 August 2008 | Tonawanda, NY
70's, sunny, beautiful
Lazy day today; After coffee we were going to walk to the pharmacy, but met Bob and Hilda from Ombre Rose - a 1988 Gozzard 36 - very pretty boat and a very nice couple that's been sailing a bit longer than us. We learned a lot about the canal stops and they were wonderful to chat with. Walked up to the pharmacy to see if they made contact with our doctor - nope; bought a paper for Hilda & one for Wayne to read the paper while I updated our website, then we walked to the supermarket (Tops). Very nice place - they had more food than Meijer's back home. We walked about town and got Chinese food for dinner - avoided the one that had Chinese food and pizza, and probably should have avoided the other also but I was craving Chinese & hoping that they had a decent Chinese restaurant here. It was a very nice, uneventful day to rest my sore body and walk about exploring the canal area.
