Cranberry Bogs to Indian trails

Continuing our drive through the USA from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, back to Buffalo, New York (state).
16-23 September 2010

After Cape Cod, the only thing Mum and I had planned was to vist a Cranberry bog, which we did, and then we found some real treats on our way back to Buffalo to hand the hire car in.

On Cape Cod and near to Cape Cod Mum and I checked out the Cranberry fields and a farmer at Flax Pond Farms taught us a lot about them. The Cranberry growers association has information about visiting Cranberry farms on their website. http://www.cranberries.org/ .

It's time to decorate with and eat pumpkins and squash. 

Still in Massachusetts we did the Mohawk trail, which is a road which closely follows where the orginal trail of where the Indians passed. The scenery was beautiful the whole way. Along the way is a butterfly place called Magic Wings, and considering I am hard to please with butterflies since they where so spectacular in the wild of Bolivia, this place actually gets good marks from me and is worth a visit.

Along the Mohawk trail we stopped at Maple House B & B at Rowe. It was a lovely place to stop for the night. In the morning I did a walk before breakfast (an hour long walk) and the light on the lake was beautiful!  Maple House Bed and Breakfast www.maplehousebb.com

Loving the old fashioned Diners in the USA!

The Corning Glass Museum houses the largest collection of glass things in the world. It is fantastic! The glass exhibits aren't just beautiful, some are very interesting (eg I learnt about Fiber Optics). Even the picture at the back of this exhibit is made from glass. The museum took us 3.5 hours and then we had to leave because it was closing time! The Corning Glass Museum is in Corning, New York!
