'21/#16 Getting The Lay Of The Land And The Water

 First let me thank those of you who have posted comments through the blog. I get immediate results and satisfaction of knowing that we are being followed  and enjoyed when you post through the blog. Thanks again.

Now that we have settled into our home in upstate NY we are checking things out in our area. To the east is the city of Batavia where we have found a grocery store new to us,called Topps, that will serve us well. Of course we have found the local Walmart and gas stations with the best prices on diesel. Then, as people of a certain age, we have to find our local pharmacy to supplement the mail order pharmacy that is all important to full time Rvers.

Another day we went west towards Buffalo and found another grocery store called Wegmans that was a real eye opener. A little on the fancy side and leaning toward gourmet cooking but with all the rest of the usual staples we find in our pantry, all reasonably priced. Driving around the city we came to the conclusion that anything else we need can be found in Buffalo. 

With all our errands complete and most of the day still in front of us we took a drive to Niagara Falls. We have been here several times over the years but to say that it was worth seeing again is an understatement. The falls are awesome! Just strolling around Niagara Falls State Park with no agenda but to take in the view and plenty of pictures got our steps in for the day. But who's counting?

By this time my stomach had an agenda of it's own, so when in Buffalo where do tourists eat? Why not try the Anchor Bar and Restaurant, the home of the original Buffalo Chicken Wings! As they say, "when in Rome...." so we ate what the area is known for. 

Mary ordered Buffalo wings and I had the "Beef on Weck". Everybody knows what buffalo wings are but beef on weck? For those who don't know it is a roast beef sandwich on a kummelweck roll. Think a kaiser roll topped with coarse salt and carraway seeds. The food was very good and the bar itself was very eclectic like a novelty bar should be with  the walls covered in all sorts of memorabilia. All in all a nice place to eat and another stop checked off the list of places to see.

We have some more errands to run so I will sign off from our home in Corfu because...

Home is where we park it,
