Well, that was fun.. kinda. The trip started off simple enough, a bit of a late start but we made it to Olson’s Food and Bakery in Port Dalhousie in good time. I’m a big fan of both the Olson’s, with Anna being famous for the show ‘Sugar’ and her husband a professional chef who’s currently seen on ‘Canada in the Rough’. The place is nice, a small building that reminds me of something you’d see in Key West, with many little shops throughout. We started with some sandwiches, and then I settled on a chocolate crinkle cookie that was AMAZING. Wow. Saw her, too, helping a customer. Mark once said to me that he had no idea how she stays so thin, and seeing how thin she was in person I’m inclined to agree.
Got across the border easily and just started trekking. The ION does really well for highway driving, was halfway between 1/4 and 1/2 tank with almost 500 km on the tank by the time we hit Syracuse, so we stopped and grabbed a bite and filled. This is where things get dicey. Just outside Albany traffic ground to a halt, and we found ourselves stuck in a three-hour delay due to an accident. No fun. It took a ton of time off the trip, and cost us any chance of finding dinner as it was getting too late. As it was we didn’t arrive at our hotel until 11:30, checked in, and basically munched on snacks we’d brought.
But alas, it’s a new day. Time to waste some time downtown before getting ready for the 8PM show. Tomorrow’s entry should be.. exciteable. :D
Cheers!
