    The idea was to tour most of Monroe County's schools of higher learning. Apologies to Brockport State and Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School...
    It was another "epic" tour with Jerry on our recumbent bikes.
    We visited the campuses of 6 of the higher learning institues in Monroe County.
    Here is the list in the order we visited them:
    (1)Roberts Wesleyan College
    (2)Rochester Institute of Technology
    (3)Nazareth College
    (4)Saint John Fischer College
    (5)Monroe Community College
    (6)University of Rochester

    Along the way we stopped at Maria and Dave's house and my brother was home. That stop alone was worth the trip...

    On the towpath we met up with Joe a cross country cyclist heading home to Seattle. Joe (a 20 something Y/O), began his trek in Maine and is camping along the route. He's living a dream I've had since my teenage years... Got some photos to post on my blog.

    An engraved qoute at the U of R Quadrangle:
    The progress of the world depends almost entirely upon education. -G.E.-(George Eastman)
