Places visited
Rachel, Jon, Taran and I met one day for a brunch buffet at the restaurant in the Troy Botanical Garden in Troy, New York. The breakfast was a combination of traditional American and Korean dishes. Everything was delicious and the weather was sunny and warm, enabling us to eat on the restaurant's deck overlooking the manicured landscape of miniature figurines along the one-and-a-half-mile paved path. After eating, we walked the path which was very interesting and enjoyable.
We then went to Engelke Farms only eight miles away in Troy, New York. We walked through the corn maze and ate fresh apple donuts which we enjoyed very much.
It was a wonderful fall day!
