Hello Palmyra. After a week and a half relying on public transportation, it was nice to have our own wheels. We rented a minivan and drove 6 hours to Palmyra.
Once we were out of the city, the drive was beautiful and so green. The highway took us through some sleepy towns and along one of the finger lakes. We stopped at Taughannock Falls which was a short beautiful hike to a 250 foot waterfall.

Then on to a couple of church history sites. We toured the Whitmer farm where Joseph Smith finished translating the Book of Mormon and where the church was first organized.
The next stop was the Grandin Building where they printed the first 5,000 copies of the Book of Mormon (and our tour guide was Martin Harris’ fourth great granddaughter!). It's really cool to see these places come to life, especially because we are studying the Doctrine and Covenants this year.
We stopped by and saw the Erie Canal and then ended the day in Rochester for some really yummy ribs at Dinosaur BBQ. The flooding was the aftermath of Elsa!!
Total steps walked today--9,841
