International guests, Rod & Sandy Ritchie, from St. John, New Brunswick, Canada toured Erie, PA with us for the last few days.  Come with me as I review our tour via photos.

House Boats in Horseshoe Pond on Presque Isle Peninsula

US'N TWO

There are 24 house boats on Horsehoe Pond.  Most are passed down through the years to family and rarely come up for sale until this summer.  Establishing an asking price was a bit of a challenge as there are no comparable properties.  The last sale was eight years ago,  $150,000 for a 600 sq ft fixer-upper. 

After touring Erie's waterfront via US'N TWO, we visited the Tom Ridge Environmental Center, the Gateway to Presque Isle to watch Oil150, a documentary of the birth of the oil industry.  We ended the day with dinner on the deck of Alto Cucina, one of Erie's premier restaurants, owned by friends of my Hubby.

If you are visiting Northwest Pennsylvania, we would love to tour Erie with you.
