Buffalo!

On Thursday, I went to a few places in Buffalo, New York.

The Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, located in Buffalo’s South Park, is a terrific place to visit!

I took tons of photos of the plants there. Rather than cross-post them all here, please go to my Picasa album or view them as a slideshow. I’ll only highlight a couple here.

After visiting the gardens, I drove into Buffalo’s downtown. I ate at the home of the original “Buffalo Wings”, Frank and Teressa’s Anchor Bar on Buffalo’s Main Street.

Then I drove out on the Rte 5 skyway.
