Day 10

The birds awoke me since I forgot to put my earplugs in, but it wasn’t too early to be frustrating.  The two German Shepherds hopped into bed with us to say, “Good Morning”, and we headed down for coffee and breakfast pizza which was quite interesting.  After weighing myself and discovering that I have gained 5 pounds since we left, we hopped onto the bikes for a 5 mile ride and then some walking downtown with Justin and Karlyn.  It was nice to get out in the fresh air and see the water front.  

The breweries we wanted to visit in Buffalo were closed, but there was Buffalo Brew Pub, where we stopped for a snack and a cold beverage.  Their own beers were not very flavorful, but they did have a good selection of other drafts.  Also, Justin’s buddy was the chef, and he gave us extra wings.  The wings were VERY good, probably the best I’ve had in Buffalo. 

Next, we headed to Consumer’s to pick up some local brews and I was happy to find Flying Bison brews as well as some others from the region.  Next, it was time to head back for dinner.  Papa Celmer was very interested to try my baked onion rings, so I made the appetizer with some zesty dipping sauce…it was a hit!  Then came the feast of Chicken Cordon Bleu, grilled chicken, coleslaw, corn on the cob, and salad…oh my!  Then, for dessert, we had peanut butter pie with an Oreo crust, strawberry rhubarb pie, and more pound cake.  I better watch it!  I am not looking forward to what I am going to look like at the beach, but it was delicious!

Ty headed to the city with Justin and Karlyn, but I decided to stay in and watch the fireworks with Papa and Mama Celmer, and to catch up on the writing of this blog.  I have quite a bit of driving tomorrow, so I think I made the right decision.  Ty is really looking forward to the Medieval Brewery for tomorrow…I hope it’s as good as expected.

We are so grateful to the Celmer’s for their hospitality and kindness!
