Day 8 9/28 Brockport to Fairport 35 miles
It's the serendipity that makes travel worthwhile. I think the slower you go, the greater of the chance of serendipity. For us, it was the stop in the pleasant town of Medina. A grandson at home, who loves trains, was the motivation for the stop at Medina Railroad Museum. After a few wrong turns, we found it - but alas . . . CLOSED. But as we were standing there looking stupid, the creator of the museum opens the door and says "Come on in!" (unfortunately, I can't remember his name but an amazing person) The model trains and displays are amazing in their complexity and just plain fun. Go, even if you don't really like trains!
Just when we got to the Twenty Woodlawn, just off the Canal trail, WHAM. The deluge began - and what a deluge. We huddled on the porch you see below, waiting for Bill and Connie. Soon the streets were rivers and we were just glad to be huddled.
Bill and Connie showed up and we headed for the showers. Just a bit of warning, Twenty Woodlawn is a great B and B, but don't put something down - you might lose it with all the other trinkets around!
Bill and Connie are wonderful people. Thanks.
