So for this trip my family piled into the car for a seven hour trek from New Jersey, across Pennsylvania, and through upstate New York to meet our recently relocated priest in his new home in Buffalo. This sojourn began early Saturday morning and ended after a total of 14 hours in the car and 7 hours of church activity at 1am Monday morning.
Car rides are ever exciting, oh well at least it's pretty.
So for this brief last minute trip, my family and I set out, braved lunch in the run down Poconos, and arrived in Buffalo after 7 NEVER ENDING hours to be treated to Greek food in the midst of Buffalo. This gorgeous little Greek temple serves the traditional Greek platters along with new dishes waiting to be tasted. Delicious and gorgeous, this little Greek heaven known by the name of Kosta's is the perfect place to finish of an exhausting day of trekking across two very, very empty states.
Perfection on a platter. Enjoy.
After our bellies have been filled with lamb meat and pita bread we drove around this city we discovered the true beauty behind Buffalo, looking for my priest's new abode. We discovered a lush park filled with tiny playgrounds and tall trees providing lovely shadows to be cast about the park as the sun sank over the horizon.
The sunset over Buffalo.
While we didn't have time to swing by the falls, (which I highly recommend going to, based on my brother's analysis) we did manage to drive by Canada. However we did not have the opportunity to actually go to Canada because I am the ONLY person in my family who has a passport and is capable of leaving the country. (Don't get me started). Well, all I. All Canada looks like a pretty kick-ass place, and if your into the European- but-not-in-Europe I would highly suggest swinging by eastern Canada, at least from what I could see from the family automobile that's permanently stuck on American soil.
