CODA New York 2025 (21).

 CODA : The 200th anniversary party of the Erie Canal ended this afternoon.

18 May 2025 

Waterford Visitors Center free docks, Waterford, Erie Canal, New York 

It was fun while it lasted.  The party certainly kept things lively.

Marc-  It was a rather cool and rainy day. We made the most of it with going up to St. Mary's Church and walking around the exhibits and some of the neighborhoods.  Armand came over to pick us up to go to the train station for Adam's trip to Vermont.  He made an excellent crew.  He even did some of the cooking.  I stayed with Armand the rest of the day while he showed me more sights in the area and then I joined him for dinner at a new Panera restaurant in town. 

Beautiful flowers on the way to St. Mary's.

Unfortunately the Mass I picked to attend was cancelled today.

Nice homes in town.

I am impressed by the curved glass windows on the second floor.



Vendor blowing big bubbles.

Nice boat with a pilot house.

Same boat with an inquisitive dog poking out of the pilot house.

Coda at the docks viewed from the Peebles Island Bridge.

Armand and his dog Lizzie.

We may go to Saratoga to see the horse track this week while we wait for the canal to open. The Belmont Stakes Festival will be held June 4th to June 8th at Saratoga.  The regular Saratoga scheduled races run July 10th to Labor Day.
