August 19 Day 80 East Greenbush New York 64 miles 5:34 riding
Our last day on the canal. We watched a guy bowfishing, trying to shoot a fish with an arrow with a string attached to it. He missed while we were there. More excellent riding along the towpath or railtrail until the end of the Erie Canal trail at Albany. Roy had a near-death experience. A largish pre-teen was riding with his family. The kid was sulking, pedaling while staring down at his wheel. Immersed in his musings on how awful it was to have to bicycle with his parents, the kid paid no attention to Roy screaming as the kid drifted into Roy's path. Roy managed to squeeze by the kid.
We stopped in Michele's father's hometown of Cohoes for lunch. Michele devoured an entire twelve-inch sub sandwich. Then, in a fit of shame and remorse, she limited our dinner to fruit from the fruitstand next to our motel. At least it was good fruit.
The computer connector for my camera is no longer working. I am reduced to using only those photos Michele takes. She generally orients her camera up and down instead of side to side, so the photos come out sideways on the blog.
