Day 15: Gem in the Rough

Day 15     10/5      Herkimer to Canajoharie     ? miles

What fun!  We woke up to clouds and before long the sun popped out and stayed.  You can't beat a beautiful New England fall day and the beautiful town of Little Falls - especially with the wind behind us.


We stopped at sub shop in Little Falls when I took this picture.  The best part was Mary Louise and I were standing along the street with the bikes and a medium young woman walks across the street with a kind of baby blanket over her shoulder.  We say hello and it turns out that she has a cockatiel in a cage under the blanket - which she takes everywhere that she goes - winter, summer, you name it.  I just wished I had taken a picture.










 Look at that sky!  Get in the mood.









 Despite the hill getting there, the Pineapple Bed and Breakfast was the best yet.  Bill, the innkeeper, met us with a 12 pack of assorted Saranac Lake beer and outside chairs in the sun.  Then we proceeded to beat up on poor Sarah Palin.   Stay there if  you get a chance.  You can't beat beer and ragging on Sarah.





We finished the day at a "true" Italian restaurant that was very good and inexpensive.  Then back at the Pineapple we were served ice cream and apple deluxe.
