We are starting to see a real spirit of welcome in these
little towns on the Erie Canal. In
Baldwinsville (many call it B’ville), we docked for free, alongside a lovely
park right after Lock #24. They did ask
for $10 per night for electricity. The
park contained a really nice “little free library”, which someone had modeled
very closely to their town’s library – what a creative idea! There were quite a
few folks who walked their dogs through the park while we were there –
especially now that we are missing Max, we always ask if we can get our “dog
fix” with their pup. People are happy to
share the love.
While we were there, we walked all over the town, went to the
grocery store (Uber’d back when we bought too much!), Laundromat for some
heavily dirtied work rags, had the computer repair guy look at my PC for some
issues (no solution offered, and no charge), discovered a delightful diner from
back in time, the B’Ville Diner. Dan had
meatloaf one night and SOS the next (oldsters among us will know what that
is).
