26 is our lucky number!

Our last day (26 – 10) and it makes me think about the great time and wonderful experiences that we have shared together.  I have been noticing quite a few very curious coincidences concerning the number 26.  Tell me what you think.  Is this weird, or what?

• The West India Trading Company purchased Manhattan in 1626 for $26.
• The address for Wall Street is 26 Wall Street.
• Theodore Roosevelt was our 26^th president.
• There are 26 stairs up to T. Roosevelt’s gravesite.
• Harriet Tubman acquired 26 acres of land which she donated to the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church Connection.
• The record for the number of boats at one time in a lock on the Erie Canal is 26.
