One more thing about Batavia, NY. Just outside of Batavia is a rock formation known as Devil's Rock. Apparently a devil was chained to the rock (for obscure reasons) and in circling the rock over and over, he wore it into a peculiar mushroom shape. Check this link..there is a photo.

Oh, also, Leroy NY..near Batavia is the birthplace of J-ELLO!! There is even a JELLO museum there now.

Looks great. It reminds me of the Alhambra Palace in Granada in Spain for some reason
