Adventure in New York

Welcome to Owego  NY, voted the coolest town in America in 2009.

Even the back of the stores look interesting, and historic.

This sounds like a terrible year.

A couple of typical homes in Owego.

Everything was neat and tidy.

I really enjoyed antique shopping in town.

 Mother found a huge flower pot that Bill had to secure in the back of the truck.
This is why we will never be able to fly up to NY...
 We need a truck to haul home all of our treasures!

I think  this was the same day that we headed to Tioga Downs.

Way down on one side was a large flea market/antique place.

I really enjoyed walking thru the 3 buildings that were filled with cool stuff.

I still kick myself for not getting this...

A live catch mouse trap! And it was only thirty dollars!

This was probably the scariest house photo I have ever seen. Brrr!

Eventually we regrouped and headed over to watch the horse races.

I think you would develop strong stomach muscles from leaning back like this.

This child was not having any fun, and was determined to let everyone know it.

I don't know how she balanced that car on her head.

I'm holding my little black horse that I got for a souvenir, that really wasn't supposed to be.

Front of one, back of another...

The casino was full of people spending money as fast as they could. 
It was also incredibly noisy.  I couldn't stay in there long.

After a very short ride across the parking lot, we headed home.

 Even the parking lots are lovely in New York.

More NY excitement to follow!
