Boston the Blizzard of 2010

Our first winter back and Boston has to have a blizzard.  This was in the top ten of storms to ever hit Boston.  Hopefully this will be the only big one of the season.  Usually they only get small amounts of snow, but I guess when we wished to see snow since we had not seen it in years, we got our wish.  Ok enough now we have seen it........

Wayne is shoveling the dock beside our boat.... a shovel on a boat!!!!!

 

One good thing by this weekend all the snow will be gone.....it is supposed to rain

To New England- end of this summer's trip

                                                        Boston City Skyline at sunset                                                            

Port Jefferson and Point Judith, some of the lighthouses we passed along the way.

                                                    

                                                                 The Annisquam

                                                 Coming into Hampton River Marina

                                            The Beach in October still some nice days

                The colors were spectacular this year - our first time back for fall colors in 9 years

                                         The Conway train ride to the white mountains

Down the Erie Canal to complete the loop ending back in Waterford

 Waterford Tugboat Roundout

 The fireworks view from the pilothouse of our boat

                                                                  Fort Ticonderoga

                                                        Whitehall New York

                                  These tugs were lined up along the Canal, must be the garage for them

                                Some of the low bridges we had to get under along the way

                      A cloudy day for a picture of a flower, but the flower still had some color.

                   This was the old towpath where the horses pulled the boats through the canal

                                         An old wooden water pipe, don't see these very often

Lake Champlain & Burlington, Vermont

 Lake Champlain is busy with ferry boats going back and forth from Vermont to NY

 The Marketplace is a great place to shop, eat, and walk, we enjoyed the hot weather they were having during our visit, it was just a short walk from the waterfront which is the picture above.

 Many painted cows from different establishments, each with their own unique art work

Leaving Montreal & The Chambly Canal

 The Commercial Locks are much bigger than the canal locks, we had to go through 2 of them and pay as you go for the size of your boat.

 leaving Montreal we could see a large amusement park that was put in for one of the expo's or the world's fair.

 The Chambly Canal, a very small canal for the size of our boat.........

 As you can see in the pictures the canal is not very wide and you are traveling right along the streets in the city

 Wayne liked this old Thunderbird, so I had to get a picture of it for him.

 Going through the bridges, we only had a few feet to spare...
