Wednesday, June 27th in Rome, NY

First thing today, we visited the restored H.P. SEARS gas station in Rome.  It has been restored to how it looked in l930.   I had been before, but this was Mary's first time.  Pat Corbett showed us around and explained the history of this building/business.  He is indeed passionate about this spot.

After that we located the GRIFFIS SCULPTURE PARK and walked around part of it.  It is a beautiful, well cared for area.  I found a geocache that I did not know was there, and I also found a painted rock.

Then we decided to return to DiCastro's for lunch.  We ordered a combo of a small pizza and a pound of chicken wings.  Both were very good.

We decided to try to find a way to get to the part of ERIE CANAL VILLAGE that was on the other side of the bridge (Mary did not feel comfortable crossing the bridge yesterday), but we could not get to it.  We did find a road that seemed to be  taking us to that spot, but we encountered a barricade which led to a closed bridge, so we gave up.
