Our last run with our buddies...Oswego Canal

Looper buddies: Bob, Liz, Ben, Deby and Mike
The Oswego canal links the Erie Canal to Lake Ontario. Most Loopers will cross Lake Ontario and head to Canada going north (Bob and Liz will be taking this route). We, however, are also going to cross Lake Ontario but head East towards Lake Erie, but not before locking up the much anticipated Welland Canal!

The canal is beautiful

We completed the 24 miles and 8 locks on the Oswego and headed to the Oswego Marina for a couple days. This will be the last time we travel with Knot Sew Easy until we see them coming down from Canada while we are on Lake Michigan. It is bittersweet heading in different directions. We will miss the camaraderie, the exploring and the ice cream and pies with our buddies. Our dogs will miss each other too. But, I'm thrilled to be doing it alone for a while. It will feel pretty incredible to be traveling solo, we will be braving the travels of the unknown...sounds pretty fascinating to me!
While here we enjoyed dinner out with our buddies, saw a movie and lucked out (yet again!) with a great farmers market! Oh, we received a fresh baked pie from Bob...a little departing gift to keep our bellies full! We are going to miss them!

Dinner time!
So much fun! We have met such great people!
We caught a movie and ate lots of popcorn!

Great architecture in this town!
