Sorry, no posts for a week, we were traveling and I tried to put through my ipad, but couldn’t upload any pictures, so here you get the vacation, a week late.
We were invited to a wedding in Lake Placid, we jumped on the opportunity and decided this would be our summer vacation, after the wedding we’d go on to Quebec and Montreal.
It’s not easy getting to Lake Placid, we flew into Montreal and drove over 2 hours into the Adirondack Park.
We really did have perfect weather. Although Lake Placid is somewhat remote, it was so worth the visit.
There must be crevices with snow year round. We are used to this from the Sierra Nevadas. These mountains are half as high, but they are much further north.
We stayed in a small old hotel/motel, but look what we have. Lake front view, Chairs and ducks.
What are the Adirondacks without some good old Adirondack chairs???
Even better in rainbow colors. We took a boat ride, to view the ‘camps’ from the water. In this neck of the woods, camp means a very large expensive summer home on the lake.
OK, this one is Lake Placid Lodge, not private.
Justa kid out enjoying the lake on his unicorn.
In other locations we saw the taxidermy of Elk and Moose heads. This fellow was cute. The town of Lake Placid is very nice, enjoyable to walk around.
There is a Jewish Synagogue in town, mostly closed for the summer. 
The wedding itself took place up on top of Whiteface Mountain. We were bussed up there and were a little surprised at how hot it was. We were warned it could be very cold and windy.
Look at that view!!! That is Lake Placid beflow us. No wonder the couple wanted to get married up here.
Our friend, the father of the groom hoped it would rain the next day.
It did.
This is what you get for all that rain, lush green, huge flowers and hops. Yes, these are hops, I hope they end up in someones beer.
From here, on to Canada.
