Being a Tourist in our own City






Becki and I have decided to become tourists in our own city. So many of us never see our home city for what it really is. We go to work in the morning, come home in the afternoon, and never see our city through the eyes of tourists. What is it they see when they get of the bus, their rental car, the plane when they arrive in Albany. We are going to find out. Today I took my gorgeous niece Camille and her daughter Michaela to Calamari's Al Fresco to lunch. I had the standard fish & chips and Camille had the house hamburger. Michaela slept through it all. Calamari's must have the best views anywhere in the world and its right on our doorstep. It was a beautiful winter's day today, much to nice to be indoors. We enjoyed a lovely lunch then walked along the boardwalk. We were hoping to see some whales but they were not playing in our waters today.

Calamari's is great - been there a couple of times! What a great idea to do the touristy thing in your own town - I agree - so often we don't know what we have soooo close by! Albany is a gorgeous little town!!
