I got my bags back on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 529. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about wine and

NASCAR gorges and glass blowing as we go to the Finger Lakes region of New York State.

I know that I should be heading home, but maybe not, maybe not

to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen and now let's talk

about the Finger Lakes. I'd like to welcome back to the show Lily Marshall

my friend from Boston who has been on the show once before talking about Ghana and Africa

But has come back to talk about the Finger Lakes in New York.

Lily welcome back to the show.

Thank you.

I'm excited to be here.

And I should explain, this show is kind of going to come as a surprise actually to the tourism

board of the Finger Lakes, who invited us both and two separate occasions to come visit them and

also the Corning Glass Museum which we will definitely talk more about later on.

And I told them at the time we were not planning on doing an amateur traveler episode because I really wasn't sure that it made the list of it was worth flying to and all the things that I have.

And the more I've been thinking about it over the summer, I'm thinking, I had such a great trip.

We really loved it. We should talk about it on the show. I had a

a similar experience. I had a similar experience. I think you went before I did.

I went in late springtime. I went in late springtime I went in summer during July okay of last year and why

should someone go to the Finger Lakes in New York What I loved is that there's really something for everyone

and all of this in a setting of natural beauty.
