Your bike is soooo pretty. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy every mile. Please take lots of pics and tell us all about it when you get home. Have fun!

Sounds like a great trip! I love your bike (and I actually like the green version too)--have fun riding it!

Thanks for the well-wishes.

We will be taking our camera, of course, and hopefully taking lots of pictures.

The southern shore of Lake Ontario is (for the most part) very rural farm country with growing Amish and Mennonite communities east of Rochester. It's beautiful. However, as an (almost) life-long upstate New Yorker I guess I'm not completely unbiased.

This afternoon was spent getting our food organized. We're going to try to be completely self-sufficient and have had fun experimenting with some of the recipes on the "Freezer Bag Cooking" website:

I think we're about as ready as we're ever going to be.

Those Amish and Mennonite communities near Lake Ontario (at least the one's I was talking about) are actually in the *other* easterly direction...meaning west of Rochester.
