Every year we make the trek to Lake Placid, New York. The town of Lake Placid actually runs along Mirror Lake. The Lake Placid body of water is a short way across from Mirror Lake. It is a wonderful place to visit. If you are into winter sports this is the place to come to. They have hockey, ice skating, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, etc., etc. If you just like to hang out, watch it snow, eat good food, do a little Christmas shopping you can do all of that and more.

Brown Dog Cafe.
These two dogs have been guarding this cafe for a long time.
They never leave their posts. Good dogs.

Olympic Center.
This is where the USA Hockey team beat the Russians
and then Finland to win the Gold Medal at the 1980 Winter Olympics.
I could not resist this Sock Monkey Hat. I needed it. It was
very cold and windy. It kept my head and my ears warm.
One last look at Mirror Lake.

WOW very beautiful~ I think I need to take a trip there. There is so much to do in NY!
ReplyDeleteLake Placid is a great place. When you talk to the people that work in the shops and restuarants they wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
