Road Trip - Day 12
Out Road Trip draws to a close tomorrow. We decided to wind down a bit today. So it was a lazy morning for us as we got up late and then by the time we got out, it was 02:00 PM. We first went to an Indian Restaurant to have lunch, but unfortunately it was already closed for the noon break. So it was Mexican food today at "Chipotle".
After a heavy burrito bowl we headed off to the Presque Isle State Park which is an sandy peninsula that arches into the Lake Erie which stretches from Ohio to Canada. Its is supposed to be the smallest of the 5 great fresh water lakes in the USA. It is almost like a small ocean rather than a lake with waves and sandy beaches etc...
So we rented a motor boat and headed out from the lagoon to the bay and once we hit the main part of the lake it was fun. Never thought I would see waves in a lake, but did see that today. There were a few sail boats and ducks out there today.
So it was amusing to watch Arun K. display his psychopathic tendencies when he decided to traumatize the ducks on the lake by going after them with the boat. :-)
So we had some good time boating and we decided to return back to the pier and then got into our car and drove to one of the lake Erie beaches within the state park. It was almost like a regular beach on the ocean. After spending some time there, it was back to the Indian Restaurant for dinner and then back to the hotel.
Funny that Arun K. & I were the only Indians in that restaurant. It is very unusual even for the US.
Tomorrow we leave Erie and head for our homes, the last 500 odd miles. My vacation comes to an end and I'm waiting to see my family. We are done 2 days ahead of our schedule!!
