Day18. August 24

We spent another day in Lake Placid region.  Most of the other campers are from Quebec.  Somehow it makes camping seem more sophisticated when you hear French rather than English and  hear wine bottles being uncorked instead of canned beers being opened.  This gorgeous French Canadian who looks like he could be on the cover of some steamy romance novel came by to borrow a corkscrew.  I about swooned.

We went into the nearby town of Saranac Lake.  Also very cute.  We visited their tiny brewery...in an old car wash.  Perfect to wash down everything.  Filled our growlers.  Traded ours from Town Hall Brewery in MSP for one of theirs.  We hope we can get it through customs.

The highlight of the day was a 3-hour train ride on the Scenic Adrironack Railroad.  We took the beer and wine evening trip.  It was really fun.  There was a DJ who played great fun music, many with a train theme.
