Day 6 Dinner and a Show!

Day 6     9/26  Gasport to Albion     ? miles

Another great day riding alongside the canal - flat, pretty, and no traffic.  You can't beat that.  We continue to follow along the oldest part of the Canal that is still used by charter and private boats, so there are only small towns and little traffic of any kind.

At the end of the day, we were met by Lou and Jeri at the Erie Canal Schoolhouse B&B.  Lou helped us put the bikes inside as Jeri took the girls on a tour of our rooms.  They also told us of a restaurant across the bridge that was good - The Crooked Door - owned by a retired teacher which always made us raise our eyebrows.  They were right - it was very good and not crowded either.  And, very important in our crowd, the draft beer was fresh and cold.

The amazing part of the Schoolhouse B&B is the Exhibition Room on the top floor.  Part history, part entertainment, but it is amazing and worth seeing no matter who you are or where you come from.  What a show!
