Ro-Cha-Cha

Since rolling into the Rochester area, I've been on task with the plan to consider life in a few small towns and villages near the Erie Canalway Trail. My eye was on the Fairport, Perinton and Pittsford areas that are familiar to me from biking in years past.  Friend Barbara patiently drove me to a number of neighborhoods and we even went on a "townhouse for sale" tour.  While real estate prices are still a little high, my head spun around by the property tax estimates more than anything. Expect I could buy here but can't afford to live here! As far as I'm concerned at this point, time will tell as we continue to head in a downward economic spiral.  Vermont, New York and perhaps North Carolina are still on the homebase options list. 

Otherwise, there was time well-spent with friends, plenty of miles on the saddle, a few hot days by the pool, and more. Next stop, I'm back to tent mode as I push toward the NY-PA border.
