# Albion (New York)

Albion is the county seat of Orleans County, New York and was founded in 1812.

## Understand

Albion has a nice sampling of well-preserved historic buildings and monuments for a town its size.
In 1824, when Orleans County was split from Genesee County, the tiny hamlets of Albion and nearby Gaines were the two candidates for county seat. But the Erie Canal, which opened in 1825, routed through Albion, not Gaines, so Albion was chosen as the seat of the new county's government.

## Get in

The nearest bigger city is Rochester.

* 43.245833-78.1933331 Historic Courthouse Square, Rte 98 at Park Ave, ☏ +1 585 589-4174. The center of the village is signified by the expansive green lawn fronting the magnificent Greek Revival county courthouse (modeled after the one in Lyons 70 miles to the east). Surrounding the courthouse are a number of historic buildings, including seven different Christian churches. The enormous steeple on the Gothic-style First Presbyterian Church makes it the tallest building in the county. (updated May 2020)
* 43.2394-78.15562 Mount Albion Cemetery, 14925 Rte 31. "Mount Albion" isn't much of a mountain, but rather a glacial drumlin. The sandstone Soldiers and Sailors Monument sits atop it, though, and climbing up into its 58-foot tower provides some of the best views in the county—maybe even all the way to Toronto if you have a clear day and a good imagination.

* 43.241645-78.2018771 Lorenzo's Mexican Products, 158 Hamilton St., ☏ +1 585 637-6327. M-Th 1PM-9PM, F noon-9PM, Sa-Su 11AM-9PM. Tucked away on a side street off the main drag in a low-profile location across from a semi-truck parking lot is where you'll find this gathering place for the local community of Mexican farm workers. Lorenzo's is best known as a taquería with a bare-bones menu of tacos (available in orders of five), burritos, quesadillas, sopes, and tortas. This is Mexican food at its most authentic: ground beef and chicken as taco fillings are eschewed in favor of tongue, tripe, and cabeza, and the dishes of hot sauce they serve alongside your food are definitely not for the faint of heart. Get your drinks (principally Jarritos and Mexican Coke) from the attached food market, which otherwise stocks a range of imported groceries that's equally as authentic if a good deal more modest than at Monte Alban in Medina: canned goods, snacks, staples such as sugar and cornmeal, and a small selection of produce. (updated Oct 2018)

## Connect

* Albion is in Rochester's 585 area code, and most landline numbers are in the 589 exchange. The ZIP code is 14411.
Albion receives radio and television broadcasts from both Buffalo and Rochester—and sometimes even Toronto if the weather is good. The Batavia Daily News is the closest thing to a local daily newspaper; the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle does deliver to Albion but no longer has the resources to cover Orleans County news.

# Broek op Langedijk

Broek op Langedijk is a town in North Holland, Netherlands.

## See

Broek op Langedijk is a long village built on a dike in the polders of West Friesland (bus 155 from Alkmaar station). Over the centuries the village developed a horticultural tradition adapted to the landscape. All the small fields were islands, and everything went by boat. Many of the farmhouses were also only accessible by boat. The waterborne specialisation reached its peak with the construction in 1912 of a special auction house, the Broeker Veiling. A canal runs through the auction hall, and the produce was floated in on a boat, a punt. The Broeker Veiling introduced the system known as a Dutch auction, now standard for agricultural produce auctions. Prices are counted down, and the first to stop the count is the buyer. From the 1930s, an electric clock displayed the prices, and each wholesaler could stop it, so becoming the buyer. (Those who stop it too soon pay too much, those who hesitate get nothing).
The original island field landscape almost disappeared, during the systematic rationalisation of Netherlands agriculture which followed the Second World War. A small part, the Oosterdel, survives to the east of the village. Other islands were built over for suburban housing. Most of it was simply drained, and ploughed into a level modern polder - now filled with ugly suburban and agro-industrial development.
* The Broeker Veiling is now a museum illustrating the traditional agriculture of the area, and the auction system. By now it is surrounded by suburban development, and the relationship with the landscape is no longer visible. Museum Broeker Veiling, Museumweg 2, 1721 BW Broek op Langedijk. Open from Easter Sunday to October, M–F 10.00-17.00, hours. Sa Su 11:00–17:00. No fixed times for tours, depends on the number waiting. Entrance €6, with boat trip €9.55; children €3.50 and €5.25. Tel. 0226 - 313807, fax 0226 - 318304, e-mail: broeker@xs4all.nl.

# Canyoning

Canyoning (or: canyoneering) is about going in a bottom of a canyon, which is either dry or full of water.

## Understand

Canyoning combines elements from swimming, climbing and jumping--but requires relatively little training or physical shape to get started (compared to rock climbing, scuba diving or alpine skiing, for example).
See also: Rock climbing.

## Techniques

There are several kind of techniques in a canyon, which are also features of a specific canyon:
* sifons (dive-under)
* vertical rappeling (or abseiling)
* horizontal abseiling: moving over a rope above a river from one side of canyon to another
* jumps
* slides (toboggan in Spanish)
Plus trivial techniques which are used in virtually every canyon with water: walking, swimming, climbing to large stones.
Other characteristics of a canyon are length, duration, altitude difference; time to get in to a canyon start and to get out from its finish.
