A Fairly Quiet One...

Not much excitement to report back this weekend. We spent the weekend chilling out after a fairly full one week in Vegas and Utah.

Saturday we got to sleep in - yay! We pretty much bummed around the entire morning. Lunch time we headed out to Presque Isle, which is a peninsula off Erie. We went and had a look at the 'beach' (and we use the word beach very loosely).

Can you believe that we were walking on this exact spot only a couple of months ago?

Erie 'Beach'

Kristy - Lake Erie. There was no wake boarding action happening either.

After a drive around, we went to the Erie Greek Festival. Well, that was a flop. They had been talking it up on the radio and TV. We go down there and there was crappy Greek music playing (not even live), and 3 food vendors who all sold the same food and drinks. The funny bit was you had to buy tickets, then exchange the tickets for food, which to us seemed a little backwards. There was no one there, and heaps of empty seats in the hot sun. We left fairly quickly, but not before a quick bite of some Greek food.

Bargain - $11 for a case of beer!

We finished up the night with a 'grill' on our back veranda.

Sunday we went to Buffalo with Louis (from Ryan's work) and his girlfriend Katherine. The Taste of Buffalo festival was on. This festival beat the Erie one hands down. Heaps of live music, every restaurant in Buffalo had a stall it seemed and heaps of people. We spent a few hours wandering through all the stalls and sampling different food from each of the vendors. We tried things like: Catfish nuggets, Cajun shrimp, Pot stickers (dumplings), but we steered away from the Dogfish burger!

We had another grill at home and that was our weekend.

Tis a lazy nation. They don't even push their own mowers.....

Not to mention drive thru pharmacies, post office boxes and drive thru beer (only) shops.
