This is the Peter Whitmer home where the church was organized. They said there were seventy people there that day.  It's a nice home for that time.  It was a good two or three day ride from Palmyra by horse and wagon. 

A small sail boat being lowered in one of the eighty three locks along the 363 miles from Buffalo New York to Albany New York on the Hudson river. This lock raises or lowers fourteen and a half feet.  The original locks were ninty feet long and fifteen feet wide.  The canal was forty feet wide and the long boats were pulled along by a mule or horse walking along the edge pulling the boats at four miles per hour.  The canal cut costs by ninty percent, a great savings.  There is still a lot of trafic both private and comercial.  It took them from 1817 to 1825 to finish the canal. 

The places around Palmra was neat.  Nice to have been there

Were in Boston now.  We drove in the down town area for about two hours.  There are no lines for the lanes and people get in and out of cars in the middle of the streets and people cross anywhere they want and cars stop for them even on high speed roads.  Crazy Mom says.  We drove back west about twenty miles and found a motel.  Were taking a seven hour tour of the city tomorrow.
