Nothin' could be finer than a day spent in Medina

(note: click on any photo to enlarge)
July 21 & 22, Medina, NY

Welp, Medina was our second stop on the Erie Canal. Nice little peaceful town with FREE tie up for the boat including water and electric, clean showers and restrooms. Can't beat that price! At first, no one was there so we were a bit skeptical...but by afternoon the place filled up.


Boats tied up along the wall.


Downtown Medina...you almost expect to see Andy and Aunt Bea walking down the street.


One of the first places I spotted was this day spa. I treated myself to a pedicure which was wonderful. They even included a free eye treatment. (Think it's cause I looked like I needed it?)


Houseboat rentals along the canal make for great summer vacations.


This is a pic of a river that runs UNDER the canal. The waterfall is about a 50 foot drop.

Another unusual feature near Medina is Culvert Road. It's a road that runs UNDER the canal as well. It only has a 7 foot clearance. This is a view from the boat looking down at the road. For more info go to this link on Ripleys website.

This is a pic of some great folks we met in Medina. They are real pro's at traveling the canal. They even take along this tent to cook under and conduct fierce chess matches. From left to right: Nancy, Frank, Dolly and Bruce (oh, and Bill). Frank and Bruce are both firefighters from Buffalo (obviously, these kids can party!) They gave us lots of input on stops to make down the "road." Thanks guys!
