Good Afternoon from Raquette Lake

Today is Ken's birthday and we're having a wee adventure driving around the Adirondacks. We stopped for coffee and pastry in Long Lake and wondered whether to post from a cybercafe there, of all things. But it was five dollars for 15 minutes, and I decided not to. So now I'm in Raquette Lake for the first time--what a huge, gorgeous lake and lo and behold, we stumbled upon a small library.

We're going to have dinner at Ken's favorite Adirondacks restaurant, Chili Nights, in Indian Lake.

I knit the second sock like crazy yesterday and will be doing the heel tonight.

Our most exciting adventure yesterday was a visit to Gore Mountain Farm, an alpaca farm, in Wevertown. We had a delightful, long visit with all the alpacas, which are such beautiful animals. Long, strong, furry necks. The fleece is so soft! I bought several skeins of a light brown yarn made from their own fleece. Maybe it will make a hat or mittens.
