Putting new faces on
We took our final walk around Chautauqua this morning, down to the lake, and through the plaza, where a crew recently put new faces on the famous fountain. If you can put new faces on the figures representing knowledge, religion, music and art, then everything must be possible. At least in Chautauqua.I'm typing outside on our deck at the Maple Inn, with birds singing, and I'm not quite ready to leave this peaceful place. But it's almost time to go.
Yesterday, after brunch with the bride and groom, we headed up to Buffalo, where we discovered an independent coffee shop, Spot Coffee, 227 Delaware Ave. It was the first time we had an espresso drink since Leesburg, Virginia, and we sat there for about an hour, sipping and playing with a dinosaur the barista let us borrow for entertainment. I had a latte and Jonathan had a dry cappuccino.
On one wall, an intricate Buffalo mural, with Spot Coffee in the center, surprised us with a depiction of Seattle's Pike Place Market and the space needle.
The folks at Spot Coffee roast their own coffee on site, and also bake all their own pastries.
We headed to Canada after, for Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Funniest sight of the day: A guy standing on the side of the road in Buffalo with a cup of yellow paint and a paintbrush. He was painting a new line on the side of the curb so he could park there.

Making his own parking spot, now that's beautiful! I bet his next move will be to get one of those gadgets that changes the stop light to green as you approach the intersection.
Oh, and Zac says "Knit, Knit Laura", which I'm sure means hello to a 21 month old.
