All of us were quite impressed with the atmosphere and likability of up-state New York – the varied and engaging countryside, the towns that were old but well-kept and had that established, civilized air, the trees and lakes and . . . well, we all just loved it. Vicky kept saying that she could easily move there to live.
In the town of Minnehaha, there was a quaint old "hardware" store that seemed more general than hardware, with half an aisle of various sized porcelain campfire coffee pots and a cute "welcoming bear" at the door.
At Lake Durant there was another beautiful sunrise with a kayaker's wake ruffling the ripples of the reflected mountain behind.
Then we saw it,
the sign that spoke volumes to Clara and I – never spend a winter in New York!
The Adirondacks and the Adirondack Museum
One of our favorite areas on this trip has been the Adirondacks, both for its idyllic scenery and for its wonderful museum showing Adirondack-style life and its artifacts. Here are some pictures that show a little of what we saw.
