Day 29 - Into the Big City


We followed the Erie lake shore into Cleveland.  Great neighborhoods lining the lake in & out of the city.  It was a fun afternoon to be in town: the crowd was gathering for the final Browns preseason game (they lost to the Bears), the Blue Angels were practicing for a Saturday air show, they were having an old ships battle reenactment, & the skies were bright blue & perfect temperature - Cleveland had a lot of energy today.  Thoughts for the day:
  1. We passed many Erie beaches - saw very few people swimming, but I sure felt like it.  Gotta try it before we leave the lake - the water temp is about 78 degrees.  Lake Erie is most shallow of all the lakes - so it must be the warmest.
  2. Thanks Dave - my inside source on Cleveland info.  I worked with Dave at Hawaiian Tel , he is originally from Cleveland & a die hard Browns fan.  He gave us a heads up about the Blue Angels in town, and recommended  a route with good views.  I really enjoyed our time in Cleveland.
