Saranac Lake

Cheryl, Dave & Bennett's new home is in the small town of Saranac Lake..

We found the town quite charming with a lovely variety of good places to eat like the Blue Moon Cafe that we have now dined at thrice.

We walked around the town and visited this mural produced about 20 years ago by high school students.  It is one of several murals in the downtown area.

These bears greet anyone driving around Riverside Park.

There are excellent opportunities to experience nature indoors and out.  An ornithologist, accompanied by a Great Horned Owl and a Screech Owl, presented an outstanding talk on Birds of Prey that educated both the young and old.

On our last day we visited the just-opened farmers market where Anna Lee bought a wood-burned necklace.   Dinner was at a great Mexican restaurant.  Saranac Lake, we found, has a terrific food scene.

We continued eating, this time in Albany where the family enjoyed a Chinese dinner followed by a HUGE soft-serve ice cream with our cousins.

We must have still been hungry because Jeff took us to an excellent restaurant for brunch.  Next time we will share the creme Flan French toast, luscious and large.
