Erie PA - Biking

 Today and yesterday we went biking. Twice at Presque Island SP which is a great place to ride. A bike path of 13 miles with lots of water views, beaches, and light houses. Joe also took us on some very nice quiet roads right from the cottage. There are a lot of grape vines and farms in the area. It reminded me of the Finger Lakes bike trip last year. We also played pickleball at a park close to the cottage. There was a small group there willing to play so we had some good games.

Erie PA

 We went to the Blues and Jazz fest at a park in Erie today. March decided to slide into the park. I think she got going a little faster than expected! It was a day that looked like rain but it really didn't rain until late afternoon.

Catskills -> Erie PA

 We stopped at Delaware - Otsego Audubon on the way. A very nice place! Lots of wildlife including deer, lots of birds, frogs, salamanders. Trails go near a swamp area and then up onto a hill. 

We arrived in Erie PA in the afternoon. We will be staying with March in a cottage on the lake. The view from the cottage and deck is amazing. You can't see the shore on the other side of the lake so it has an ocean quality. From the cottage you can see Presque Island SP which is a long, maybe 5 mile, finger of land that goes out into the lake.
