August 9th, 2011 Lake Placid

Yesterday, we spent the whole morning trying to pay our bills online.  What a fiasco when passwords aren't working and we have spotty cell service.  In the afternoon we took a long walk and stopped to play miniature golf.  I was a couple of strokes up on Chuck until I took 7 to get through a windmill.  He won by 3 strokes.  He told me to be sure to mention the score.  I think he's still upset that I beat him at skiball. 

Today we went to a dentist who was nice to work me in to glue my crown back on.  Of course, it cost twice what Dr. Swanson would have charged back home.   Chuck had thrown the kayak in the SUV, so we grabbed some lunch then headed for Lake Placid, where we enjoyed paddling past the beautiful homes and boat houses,  some which were over 2000 square ft. alone!

After we deflated the kayak again (we're getting good at this now), we headed for the top of Whiteface Mountain via the Veteran's highway.  There was a hefty toll to drive to the top and then ride an elevator to the summit.  We were still wet from the kayak ride and it was 63 degrees and windy on top of the mountain.  I've taken our jackets everywhere, but forgot them today.  (Just like the time I carried them everywhere on outings off a cruise ship, but forgot them for the rain-forest tour....duh!).  We walked down a long tunnel through the mountain to the elevator.  The tunnel was 45 degrees.  We didn't spend much time on the mountain, but enjoyed the fabulous views from our car.
