curiousity got the cat

Syracuse is a beautiful place, actually all of western New York is amazing! This trip was too short considering everything I would have loved to do, but this is the most time I've spent in New York ever. I was once here as a toddler, we took a family vacation to the Statue of Liberty and I think we were only in NY for a day or so overall.

I spent Monday and Wednesday night here in Syracuse and Tuesday night in Oswego. I was on a bank visit in Oswego (which is about 45 minutes NE from Syracuse) so I spent half day Tuesday and almost a full day on Wednesday there. Oswego sits on Lake Ontario, it's a port city with beautiful scenery, it's very quaint and calm which I love. The buildings are mostly older and are absolutely gorgeous.

Today it is raining; I'm in the airport waiting for my flight into Washington DC watching the rain sprinkle all over the runway, it's a gloomy day but a great day to be sitting in an airport with nothing to do! I was a little nervous this morning when I left the airport because it was raining terribly hard this morning & I wasn't comfortable finding my way back the the airport ... I did it though with no problems, so I was quite proud of myself. What I wasn't proud of was that when I returned my rental car I realized I didn't fill up the damn tank. There were no gas stations anywhere close, let alone trying to find one in the rain just wasn't a possibility. So are you ready for this? I was charged $7.49 per gallon. Luckily for me, I only used 3.3 gallons of gas, so it was just over $21, but jeesh really??

Okay, there are a million police cars and ambulances zooming down the highway, I need to go check out what's going on. Curiosity is getting the best of me now. I will write again soon!
