Saranac Lake and the Festival

I spent the night in Saranac Lake at the Hotel Saranac, part of the Historical Hotels of America Group. For over 75 years this brick hotel has been the center life in this quaint town. Currently the Winter Festival is going on and is in its 110th year. With the wireless down I consoled with some good Italian food at a place called Corvo, convinently just across the street. Then walked to the Ice Castle built for the festival through the blowing snow. I stood watching the wind whipping across the lake and listened to the strange sound it made.
