Tempis fugit or as Groucho said: "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." Before we knew it our visit to my sister and her lovely Ohio lake house was coming to an end. On our fourth day we boated over to the marina at the end of the lake near the dam. There, Duba treated us to lunch at the Lighthouse Bistro. They had a nice menu but we had had another of those buffet breakfasts just a few hours before and weren't feeling hungry. "Can we come back for dinner?" pleaded Alexis. She had spotted scallops on the menu, which she loves, but ... no appetite.

Barb, Mirjam, a burger and a Bloody Mary ... not bad.
After lunch, Duba took us on another short sightseeing ride to Zoar, a tiny, historic enclave that was founded by the Zoarites, German religious dissenters of the early 18th century. On our way home we stopped for a late espresso in the nearby town of Dover and then to the Lighthouse Bistro (once again) for a sunset dinner. It was already 8:30 when we arrived at the restaurant, only to be told that the kitchen was closed. Pickings were slim in this rural area. While we discussed our options outside, Alexis appealed to the chef inside. She was succesful! We dined by moonlight, Alexis had her scallops and we returned to Duba's to take our final farewells: we were leaving early the next day, homeward bound.

It was nice spending time with my sister.

** In my next (and last) post, we head home, stop to see Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, Falling Water, then head to Philadelphia for a late lunch of --- yep, Philly Cheesteaks at Pat's! **

Well you really got me with this one as the "art/science/engineeringf" of architecture is one of my things... it's one of man's most wonderful forms of expression... and Falling Water is one... well you have said it.
My personal favorite is Santiago Calatrava) - http://www.calatrava.com/
You have to go to the pull down menu... upper left under the "Please Select" to see his "projects"
Work on the WTC Transportation Hub is scheduled to start next in Sept.
(Check out the video on it at the Web Site) You will get the same feeling of excitement as you approach it as one does approaching (Via "yesterdays" narrow streets) the Gehry Guggenheim Museum in Bibao. http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Guggenheim_Bilbao.html (He's pretty good too...)
Then inside the "Hub" wow!
Then again there is a good chance you do not care for Expressionist Modernism in Architecture.
Matt... as I write this I come to appreciate you writing skill... for as you can see... I don't write good english easily. My favorite Calatravas... are his bridges.
The town of "Confluence" now that's the way to name a city.
I would not characterize Stacey as "Goopy but delicious" buy as she is your wife you would know.
"Moonrise" at the Lighthouse Bistro"... very nice.
