Driving Out of the Mohawk Valley

Friday I had no time to do anything Mohawk Valley-ish, because Steven and I had to drive to Vermont. Still, we drove by some Mohawk Valley sights as we went.

We headed east on Route 5 going towards Little Falls. We passed Donna’s Diner. We haven’t been there to eat in a while. That might be a good future post. Our vet, or rather Tabby’s vet, is right next door, Mohawk Valley Veterinarian. Nice people there. There was St. Peter’s Orthodox Church, a real Middle Eastern looking building. We went to a sale there once.

On to Little Falls. It is much easier to go through Little Falls than it is to find something in Little Falls. Still, it is worth the effort. I particularly want to do a post on Canal Place sometime. Oh, and there is a lovely Garlic Festival in September.

On we drove. I never remember how far out Beardley Castle is till we pass it. Another place I’d like to check out.

I was not sure exactly when we left the Mohawk Valley. We passed some business with Capital District in its title, but we were nowhere near Albany. And there were numerous businesses with Adirondack in the name. I thought the Adirondacks were in quite a different direction. I guess I need to look at a map of the state.

We went through Saratoga. That took a while, with bumper to bumper traffic, but it was rather exciting to see all the people walking around enjoying the scene. I looked at the businsesses I’d like to check out, especially the bistros with outdoor tables. I also had the opportunity to indulge in a little nonsense.

“Ah yes, I remember my friend Sara when she was little Sara Bedsheet. That was before she married Jimmy ‘The Greek’ Toga.”

We drove on. We had our usual argument over how to pronounce Broadalbin. I tried to say Kayaderrossa — or is it Kayaderosera — River before we drove past it. I was unsuccessful.

We reached vermont without mishap. I think I mentined recently my ability to say a lot without having a lot to say. Well, for one year I plan to post every day. I do my best. Thank you for participating.
