Sticker hunt success
Jul 14, 2022 | Albany, NY
We went out to eat breakfast at a quirky spot called Cafe Madison and then we embarked on part two of my quest to find an Albany sticker to put on my laptop. This time I was successful. There was a second visitor's center inside the Empire Plaza, which is this big "sorta underground" (Albany is very hilly so there is a common occurrence where a building might seem to be at ground level on one side, but underground on the other side---even the house we're staying in is this way, where the basement goes two floors deep and yet is at ground level if you go out the back) complex that houses a lot of governmental stuff as well as various businesses that support the offices/workers with refreshments etc. This visitor's center was less personal, but had a lot more stuff including multiple Albany stickers. I actually had to make a decision as to which one I would get, and ended up getting two.

This one was better than I expected to get out of Albany. We even have brownstone houses on there like the one we live in.

Even though we haven't had a whole lot of interaction with the river since we've been here, this sturgeon was too cool to pass up
