Bella Rose Bed & Breakfast

After a pleasant cruise along Rt. 5 & 20, Joan and I pulled into the parking lot of the Bella Rose B&B. Ringing the front door bell we were greeted by the B&B keepers, Chris Miller and Renee Scorsone.

Once settled in, we took advantage of the front porch. Main Street Canandaigua was busy. It kept us entertained.

After a brief rest we had the other half of our Wegmans Assorted at the bistro table on the side porch.

Headed out for the Dukes of September concert arriving to a somewhat empty parking lot. We found our seating and settled in for what would prove to be a superb musical event. The headliners and their supporting cast were musicians of the first order. Plus they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Exiting the parking lot was a work of patience. But once back on Rt. 5 & 20, it was an quick drive to Eddie O'Brien's where were had a great waitress and splendid sandwiches - Joan had Chicken Parm and I had a Caesar wrap.

Sleeping was no problem. The bed was just right and thanks to having lived at 63 formerly 77 I was used to street traffic.

Before breakfast I took a walk around downtown Canandaigua:

St John's Episcopal Church

The Last Pay Phone

Working on Sunday

Eddie O'Brien's in the daylight

At breakfast we were joined by two other couples, Toni and Michael from Upstate NY and Chris and Heather, he was from Toronto and she lives in Illinois (their marriage was conceived on eHarmony).

Renee & Chris both brought us coffee and juice. Renee then served a Sensational Scone with blueberry jam. A fruit compote consisting of blueberries, white grapes and locally grown plums was served next. The main course was a Chili-Egg Puff ramekin with slices of chicken-feta sausage and new potatoes. Coffee was continually poured. The table conversation was lite with Chris and Heather expressing interest in purchasing property in New York State.

After repacking the car and saying goodbye to Chris and giving Renee a hug left the driveway and headed home on Route 5 & 20.
