Day 3 - Sunday, August 6

We made it down to the simple free continental breakfast before 10:00 a.m. The food at breakfast was just bagels, juice and coffee, but it was tasty.

I asked at the desk about visiting the lakefront (Lake Erie) and the manager gave us directions to Presque Isle State Park, a peninsula jutting into the lake. Of course we had to get to Kmart, so we stopped on the way, and picked up some more vacation supplies, including bandaids, sunblock and a mesh laundry bag. We tried to find a geocache at the park, but after a hot, tiring hike through the marsh area, we gave up. The coordinates were either off, or maybe I entered them incorrectly. Plus, there was a big sign warning us of ticks and tickborne diseases. Whew! Plus, lots of poison ivy, mosquitos and flies. We got a little lost, but finally found our way back to the car.

We then walked over to the beach on the Lake Erie side of the park, and Carol got her feet wet in the lake! We took a couple of pictures of the bay side, and headed out for Albany. As I write this, its almost 6:00 p.m. and Carol is driving. We are 34 miles from Niagra Falls, but we plan to just continue on to about Albany, where we plan to spend the night.

OK – Now its almost midnight. We stopped in Corfu, NY at a big truck stop country buffet for dinner, then made it as far as Syracuse and decided to call it a night. We are in a nice Best Western…same price as the Micro hotel but twice as big.
