A long day of driving, as we high-tailed it to Ottawa.
Syracuse: surprisingly uninteresting city. The university has no life around it, the downtown is a dessicated husk, with all the attention seeming to go to malls in the city’s perimeter. Also, finding lodging on a Monday night was surprisingly difficult. (Lesson learned: plan ahead!)
Let’s face it, Pal, that’s a lesson you will never learn.
I guess you have never been to Albany (NY), if you are surprised.
