Greetings from Lake Placid

Hello sports fans and welcome to Lake Placid, NY. It is day three of my long weekend up here in Cold Country. Its been a fun few days so far. We got here around 10:00 Thursday night and dropped all our stuff off at the house. Then we went to the Lake Placid Brewery to fill up on some Ubu and other fine brews.

The house is very nice. Its right in the Olympic Village and only a 5 minute walk to Main Street. It has 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths. There is also a hot tub. NICE!!!

Anyway - Friday was a day just walking around Lake Placid, hitting the shops and sampling the different beverages and foods here. Friday night we kind of just stayed in and played games and drank a lot.

Today, we just finished breakfast and are getting ready to head over to the World Luge Championships. Something different - but it should be pretty cool. They get up to 80 mph. After that, we are going to do our own little sledding thing and hit the toboggan run on Mirror Lake. Thats always a good time. drag a big sled up to a tower, pile on and slide down on ice chute out onto the lake.

Thats about it for now. Talk to ya when I get home!
