mission weekly report

Hi Gang,  This was on our P-day for the week, we went to a lake side town about 30 minutes away, called Sackets Harbor.  It's a tourist town, reminds me of Park City, except by a really big lake, Lake Ontario.  It is famous for a small part it played in the War of 1812.  American troops held off a British navel attack and saved the work from bad teeth or something like that.  They were having a big celebration with a parade, bands and a blessing of the boats thing in the harbor.  A catholic priest stood on a platform and blessed each ship as it passed by.  Saw some really  great looking sail boats.
