Hammondsport, NY located on Keuka Lake part of the Finger Lake region near Watkins Glen, NY. We spent Friday night just catching up and we did head out for a bit to eat.  Had a restful nights sleep and headed out the next day with cloudy skies and very

Well, I wish I drove a Lamborghini, although I would prefer a red one.  On my bucket list but at the very bottom.  This may be the only item that I won't be able to check off.  Anyway, moving right along. My good friend and traveling companion Phyllis and I are heading out today for a weekend road trip.  We do have our destination planned and you will need to check back on Monday for pictures......  Have a great one as I know we will.  See ya !!!
