An Important Day for Les & Jill

Today is our 45th anniversary, so we are eating out all meals. Breakfast was at a small place called Muddy Waters next to the Erie Canal. From there we took Indy to Doggy Day Care. Next on the plan was to visit to the George Eastman Home and Museum. We learned a lot about George Eastman during the tour of his home. George never married and his mother lived with him. He spread his wealth through out the community and upon his death there was were no descendants. Mark Osterman met us in front of the museum to give Les the cold crock of dry plates emulsion, the coated dry plates and a plate holder, so he can shoot a few dry plates in this vacation. The walk through the museum was very interesting. It was a mix of cameras and prints by various mostly famous photographers. The were also solo exhibits. We found a Mexican restaurant for lunch. We went back to camp and put the crock of dry plate emulsion into the over crowded refrigerator. We headed out again to a parking lot for the Erie Canalway Trail. We road the bikes down along the canal to Lock 26. As the lock chamber is drawing down, the upstream water is diverted through a generator house. We returned to the Jeep and went to retrieve Indy. Finally, dinner was at a fancy Italian restaurant.Читать далее
