Albany

New York state capitol building- Albany, New York.

After a night in Syracuse and the final day’s events learning about turning points in the American Revolution at Saratoga and Fort Ticonderoga, our final stop was Albany, the state capital. Though we spent little time here, it seems to be quite an interesting town. Highlights of our time here included drinking some beverages at Kelsey’s Irish Pub at the Crown Plaza where we were staying and sampling The Capitol House Chinese Restaurant. After Chinese for lunch, it was time to head to Albany International Airport for our return trip to Colorado. The trip would include a layover in Chicago and final destination at Denver. From that point we would drive back home to Pueblo. On our way to the airport, we took in our lone historical site for the day; the gravesite of the “Father of Civil Service”, the 21^st president Chester A. Arthur at Albany Rural Cemetery.
