We just completed the 2nd of what I’m going to begin calling “road trip experiences”. By that I mean something that you normally wouldn’t do, but because you’re on a road trip, you say, why not. The 1st was stopping in Buffalo for dinner last night and eating at the Anchor Bar. I had always heard about that place when I was at Syracuse, but never ate there. Luckily, it did not disappoint. The original home of the Buffalo wing still knows how to make ‘em. It’s a down and dirty type place, but great food, and they were nice enough to switch the TV from the Yankees game to the Red Sox game.
And now our 2nd road trip experience was stopping at Notre Dame. Apparently the drive from Boston to Chicago goes through Indiana (yes, that’s a Brookline education at work) and within that right by South Bend. My co-pilot had been before while attending a few BC-ND football games (he swears he was sober at least once, but I don’t think I believe him) and said it’s worth the stop. It was all of 5 minutes from the highway, so why not? See, this road tripping thing is great!
It’s a beautiful school. Tucked away in a corner of town, it’s own couple square mile sanctuary of lush green lawns, charming buildings, and oh yea, Touchdown Jesus. We lucked out with the weather- 65 and sunny- so students were all over the quads. Footballs were flying through the air, waffle balls pitched and frisbees soaring. Definitely worth the 45 minute detour.
