EATON Centre Toronto ON

On the Road

Left Sunday afternoon around 2:30 to get a head start. Big mistake...took 3 hours to the cut-off to border crossing at Lewiston Queenston. Border was quick, mostly US plates going home from Caribana in Toronto.
Easy drive once across the borde. Pulled into Corning NY (yes, of Corning Ware fame) around 9. Tired so followed our on the road tradition of asking desk for pizza take out.The clerk suggested ANIELLO'S PIZZA.

It cost exactly $15 delivered to our hotel room (Fairfield Inn $114 with continental breakfast). It had to be one of the best pizzas we have ever had!! Hot and delicious, even better than Montreal pizza!

Up late and went to Friendly's for breakfast across from hotel. $3.99 you can't beat that.

Quick drive around Corning, it has a Corning Glass Museum. Lots of nice restaurants in town.

3 hour drive got us to Blakeslee. The inn is pretty, not quite an inn, though, more motel style. Check-in was quick and pleasant.

After reviewing the Inn's menu we decided we would eat here tonight. The menu is very cosmopolitan and we were given a "Buy one, get one entree free" coupon!

Will update you on the menu tomorrow.

Weather is beautiful, in the 80s. Tomorrow we plan on touring around the area, lots of art, shops and pubs.
