Lake Placid, New York

This trip is... how should I put it? Is probably like a trip that I thought would be special yet does not leave a deep impression in my memories. Is probably like the umpteen times I've been to Bangkok and not knowing that each time I went, is really a different place.

The companionship was great, people I have just got to know them, and during this trip understand them better. There were a few things that did not go smoothly, as with any other road trips.

View was great, though not breathtaking, it was really relaxing with a different atmosphere. The buildings around were almost Europe and if is not for the rude people around spoiling the good time, it would have been the perfect holiday.

The trip was really short, we did not do a lot of activities, just kayaking in the lake, walk around the lake, and did shopping. Followed by a good dinner that costs just as much as any other restaurants around.

The morning before we set off, went to a cafe called Ashley's Cafe after the checking out. It was drizzling outside and we set by the window overlooking the street and the gray colour sky. There are little bright flowers of purple, yellow and red planted outside the restaurant by the window sill. It was beautiful and peaceful in a slightly sad mood. Eating breakfast and talking to my friends, I realized that this was exactly what I think I am looking for. The little rain outside while you sip coffee in the cafe where they are playing Jazz music and you talk a bit with your friend and your love one. Serene and relax. It is the mood that I wanted to have, a state of mind that I wanted to attain. Peace with my inner-self and with the world outside.

This has been a good trip overall, although the night ended in a quite perculiar way. We were chatting by the Inn's pool sipping Rum and having some nice music at the background. Until we went to the topic of inhumanity happening right now at different countries that got people so depressed that they were actually angry the topic was brought up.

At 2am, we went to bed, all 3 of us in a real bad mood and drunked. It was not a happy experience, rather a very intimate session turned rather perculiar at the end. However, there were no hard feelings for sure. It just makes us got to know each other better. Very much better with this travel.

In fact I was glad that this trip did not turn out as a disaster that we will quarrel because of different habits etc. Living habits were accomodated and tolerated, nobody was ridculous or have any intolerable bad habits, or probably at least good enough not to show it.

I do like it a lot, but I really do not know if I will be able to remember it as years goes by. Its sad, and I wish I could really put this in my memories because it is precious. Thus I am blogging it down.
