Buffalo (a photo gallery)
It began raining shortly after we checked in to our downtown hotel, with brief respites timed perfectly as we walked to and from our restaurant for lunch. After that though it rained and rumbled throughout the afternoon. We were both quite happy to sit around our room and enjoy an enforced day off.
By about six though the rain stopped and we walked out to explore the neighborhood for the next two hours. We were happy to get out, and surprised by the wealth of impressive structures are concentrated here.

Scott AndersonTo Lednar De NallohThat’s for sure. You could stare at this masterpiece a long time and keep finding something new. I’d love to come back and peek inside too.

Keith KleinHi,
Happy belated anniversary. Thanks for all the photos of Buffalo, my birth city. It’s changed a bit in 70 years, but some of the buildings are recognizable. The city was once a hot bed of the arts and crafts movement and the old houses in the historic district are worth a look. My grandparents lived on Parkside in one of those houses, but I’d be hard pressed to say just which one it is anymore.
You’ve been riding through the country of my youth, from Cleveland to Buffalo and your photos brought a lot of memories. Childhood in Buffalo, high school in Madison, Ohio, summers on the Erie shore near Dunkirk, family reunions at Chautauqua, all in memory still green. And it looks like you’ll be passing through more of the places where my family once lived, so I’ll be following avidly.
I think you’ve got a good plan for Europe and Britain. The Schengen zone is great if you live here, but the rules are designed to get you in to spend your money and out before you need to call on local services if you don’t.
Cheers,
Keith

Scott AndersonTo Keith KleinHowdy! I’d forgotten which part of the world you hailed from, if I ever knew. Glad you’ve been enjoying following along. Like many places we tour through, I was surprised by how much there is of interest to see in Buffalo and ended up wishing we’d budgeted more time.
It took some discussion, but we’re both happy with our plan for next year. There’s just so much less overhead and planning than it would take to get a long-stay visa. Assuming this vision holds up, maybe we can hook up when we pass through Burgundy. If you’re feeling at all noatalgic, maybe we could bring you a bottle of Welch’s to remind you of the old country.

Keith KleinTo Scott AndersonWelch’s!! I picked grapes for them when I was a teenager. Pay rate was 10 cents/ crate if I remember correctly. Mogen David paid better, but you had to be kosher, which meant I couldn’t bring mom’s ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch. I suppose they all use machines now.
Cheers

Gregory GarceauI've been lucky enough to have cycle toured through Keith's old stomping grounds not only in the Lake Erie area, but also in various places he's lived and ridden his bike in Minnesota. He always pops up out of nowhere to comment on my journals and I always appreciate that.
I really enjoyed my day in Buffalo and I didn't even explore it as thoroughly as you did.
