We wake up after our doom march to sooooorrreeee bodies. I mean more sore than I've ever been in my whole life. I didn't even know I could hurt like that. And at this point we have a smelly bag of dirty clothes after the death march. So we go to do laundry in our hotel and hey FREE! I love when hotels let you use their washer for free. It has only happened one other time-- Seattle last summer!
After some laundry we head to Cooperstown, NY-- home of the baseball Hall of Fame. Aaron has never been and I went when I was really young. I loved it. There was so much stuff to see and I took lots of pictures.
After the HoF, we hit a brewery (I know. I know.) called Ommegang. Their tastings were booked for a bit so we ate at their cafe. We each had a three beer sampler and had some delicious lunch. I had a crab salad crepe and Aaron this ham sandwich w a fried egg, cheese sauce and a mustard sauce. AH-mazing! Everything we ate was just delicious. The beer was good as well.
We head into Syracuse and settle in at the hotel. The shuttle takes us downtown and we hit Empire Brewing. They serve a lobster bisque, which according to Aaron is the best lobster bisque he has ever eaten! So I'm all about it. I've been waiting two years to eat the bisque bc he talks about it every time we have a bisque someplace else or I ask him to compare when we eat a bisque some place else. Now before I tell you about this bisque, lets remember its been FOUR years since Aaron has had it.
It was ....not very good. At all. It wasn't terrible. It had a spice to it I liked. But the "chunks" of "lobster" (bc honestly I couldn't tell) were more like shreds of lobster. And the soup was watery. Not thick at all. *Cue in sad music!* The cornbread was ok. Nothing to write home about either. But the beer was good, so bonus!
We then started walking around downtown Syracuse. Can you say ghost town on Sundays? (For those who teach that might even be a magic tree house book...) We finally found a place called JRyans. They had a ridiculous amount of beers on tap so we were in business. Except I asked for the victory pilsner ($2.50 for an 11pz glass or $10 for a pitcher) and when I got back from the bathroom she had poure me a pitcher. Bottoms up I guess. And no I didn't finish it and I made Aaron have some out of it. I couldn't drink that before it got warm!
We shot some pool. Started to plan out next trip and then eased back to the hotel! We were headed to Ithaca the next day!
