Summit Whiteface (#3) 
Summit Esther (#2) The Adirondacks....I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. The numbers correlate with the sequence in which we hiked that peak (unfortunately, when we climbed Algonquin last year, we forgot the camera, but that was our #1!). We're having an absolute blast hiking as much as we can and finding ourselves stronger each time we go out. We may become anemic, however, from all the bloodsucking insects who will pester us through July. We have climbed 6 of 46 (Algonquin, Esther, Whiteface, Tabletop, Phelps and Wright) of the High Peaks with plans to get 6-7 more (Gray, Marcy, Skylight, Colden, Iroquois, Basin, Saddleback and Haystack) in the next few weeks. When we go for Iroquois, we'll go over Algonquin again and get those missed pics. It should be fun as we plan to do this with my preceptors who are also avid hikers.
Scoopuccinos...Can you believe they have creamy, smooth soft ice cream that doesn't give you brain freeze? Also gelato, fabulous looking sweets and treats galore. Can't wait to go back. Check out website under Potsdam.
The Village Diner...Unfortunately, the previously touted Caroline's has started closing on Sundays, so we have found ourselves at this lovely diner on more than one Sunday, where Greg, the owner greets us warmly. He says this diner is his retirement project. It's also the home of theFlapjack Attack, which is a source of healthy rivalry among the local (and sometimes not so local) colleges. I've trying to get Andy to provide SUNY Upstate with a showing, but he hasn't been hungry enough, yet. They, too, have great desserts. Also, look under Potsdam.

With all these restaruant reports, it's a wonder I haven't gained 10lbs in the past 2 months....must be all that hiking that makes a great appetite.
