We're docked tonight in Newark, NY. They provide great services for boaters (and I presume for bicyclers) - and all free. There's a shower, bathrooms, a washer/dryer, and internet service. I kept asking about charges, and the dockmaster kept saying "Welcome to Newark!" I'm sure this gives them great 'press' throughout the boating community. It was great to get a load of wash done. We've been gone for 10 days with nothing getting washed. I'm sure everybody else appreciates it, too.
John's doing fine. The swelling in his fingers is almost completely gone. He says holding the cards at bridge makes his hand hurt, but he works through that. I think I said he already has an appointment at home with an orthopedic hand specialist when we get back home.
Another good meal tonight - these small towns really have some good local restaurants. We haven't had to eat at a chain yet (except for the first morning when we didn't have shore power and had to eat at a McD's). We're going to eat up leftovers and "doggy bags" we've brought back for lunch and dinner tomorrow.
PS: Joe, thanks for the great research!
