I Take Weird Travel Pictures....

Okay, lets get the regular shots out of the way, this is where we went for our anniversary:

White Face Mountain, but we pretty much ignored all that beauty because it was enshrouded in cloud cover except for this shot.
.
This is what the main steet of Lake Placid looks like and down there in the corner you can see what a retired couple we don't know looks like.
.
Lake Placid is home to the Adirondack chair.
.
You can eat at the WhiteFace Lodge for $36 a plate, or......
.
You can eat at this hole-in-the-wall, the "Eat-n-Meet", for under $10.
.
An Elvis mannequin greets you on the balcony overhead outside. There is one suitable table to eat at on the inside. But the two guys cookin' at the grill are classically trained chefs and offer a menu to rival the best restaurants in the world. I loved the juxtaposition.
.

Do you know what these are?
.
Duck prints.
.

They were waiting for the ferry.
.

Here's a touristy shot for you, the 2009 Ice Castle.
.

And boat.
.

Lake Placid offers dog sledding. He's waiting for his turn--to pull the sled.
.

His friends are out on the lake ready to go. It's a lonely job being on team B.
