God Bless America
Rainy morning and only in the 50's. We debated staying here another day or moving on 10 miles to Ilion. Finally decided to stay put and go see the town. With the wind and chilly temps, it was 52 degrees, so....we put on fleece jackets, hooded sweatshirts, rain gear and gloves and off we went to downtown Utica
Utica was established in 1832 and the 10th largest
city in New York with a population of 62, 235.
Light misty rain but felt good to be out and about. Stopped at "Bite Bakery Cafe" in old building with brick walls and wood floors. They had 2 grilled cheese sandwich specials - both deeelicious (mine was with spinach and artichokes and Mark's had red onion jam). Also had coffee/latte and Mark had tomato basil soup! Awesome lunch!
Back to Flo and hunkered down with our books on this dreary day. The Escape channel on XM has been playing patriotic tunes throughout the day for flag day. Love it!
Played some 2-handed euchre which he won 2 and 1 for me and then dice which I won.
Later we went for another walk around the marina (really not a marina, just a short wall for boats to tie up along the Erie).
The sun came out around 4 - oh, felt so good!
We had a fabulous dinner (sea bass for me and citrus salmon for Mark) + chocolate lava cake for you know who....and limoncello mascarpone cake for me... yummy!
Mark's favorite
