Saratoga Springs


We relocated to a new campground in Saratoga Springs. This area is rich in history, is an arts center, and known for its health giving waters, but wherever one goes, one claim to fame is touted from banners, statues, and all over the media. Saratoga is home to the first horse racing track in the US and the sport of kings is still a significant part of the life and culture of the area. We too will partake of this activity, but that is later in the week.

On arriving, under heavy rain, we drove around orienting ourselves to the town for more exploration later. For those of you who know our attitudes about buffet, our lunch today will be amusing. Our group dined at the Golden Corral. Our attitude is unchanged.



Two different museums caught our attention. The automobile museum featured cars from the 50s and 60s. There is only one word for these cars, “cool.” Both men and women were drooling over them. Those with more refined taste headed to the Museum of Dance.

A few of us continued to whet our appetites with the wonderful movie, Julia and Julie, a story of love of mates and passion for food.
