The day we left Letchworth was rainy. We stopped at a farmers’ market and browsed a couple of impressive art collections before spending the rest of the day on the road. On display at the art gallery opposite the farmers’ market were many exquisite watercolor landscapes by the local contemporary artist Thomas Aquinas Daly. The Perry Public Library (a Carnegie library) houses a special collection of renowned nineteenth century American artist Lemuel M. Wiles, who painted in the style of the Hudson River School.
From the Finger Lakes region we traveled to just west of Cleveland, to visit Amy’s cousin Ann, her husband Floyd, and their son Rich and his family (wife Deb and sons Gideon & Julian).
