Highway 20 to Buffalo

June 2, 2015

Day 56

We leisurely made our way to Buffalo along Highway 20 which is home to many quaint and lovely towns, rural areas with rolling hills and farms. Upstate New York is lush and green this time of year and very beautiful. It is like a different country from New York City and apparently sparsely populated. We drove along the very top of a few of the Finger Lakes which are home to wineries and lovely scenery. We are again sorry we don't have more time to explored this area.

 We drove through Seneca Falls and were going to stop and see the National Historic sight dedicated to Women's Rights but found our way past it before we realized it and decided to move on. We arrived in Buffalo and went to our friends we met in Germany in December, Tom and Sue. They live on a beautiful forested lot at the very end of the street and have 7 acres of land. They fed us dinner and then took us on a drive around Buffalo seeing the windmills, the grain elevators, some of the historic buildings, their super Coca Cola minor league baseball stadium, the Cheerios factory (we could smell them roasting), Larkin Square with Tuesday foodtrucks and band, and the waterfront. It was a great introduction to Buffalo.
