... of the folks who live along the eastern shores of Lake Erie is 'charming' to say the least. I stopped by this little town (Barcelona Harbor at Westfield, NY) on the way back. There were some of the older residents picking 'Concord" grapes from the vines just in front of this old ship (where I stood to take this photo). An obviously life long resident told me a bit of the ship's history. It 'sank' in Buffalo harbor many years ago and had been 'salvaged' from there, brought down to Westfield, and was in the slow process of being 'restored' ... to someday set sail again. He said it was very time consuming, but he hoped to have enough time left to finish it before he "departed" this world to "sail other seas". He must have been close to ninety years old, yet still agile and in possession of his dreams. The folks who live along this stretch of beautiful shoreline seem to "live at a slower pace". And, I like that ...
