FRIDAY NIGHT

SATURDAY

Exploring downtown Rochester

We snuck into Mayo to see the Chihuly.
"The 13 glass chandeliers, a magnificent array of blue, green, and gold elongated cylindrical and global forms suspended from the ceiling of the Mayo Nurses Atrium on the first floor of the newly opened Gonda Building, are the creation of American glassblower Dale Chihuly, often called the world's foremost glass master."

3pm Tour

Downloaded from Google Image since we weren't allowed to take pictures on the tour.
These looked familiar to me ... YOU?

We visited Stacy's Alex in his home there in Rochester!
Got a good tour!  He was a good sport about it and even offered us his Halloween candy!  

We figured it out!

Back to the AirBnB for dinner and big laughs!!

Lisa made a Mexican Salad and Stacy made Chicken Tinga for tacos with all the fixings.

New Duolingo users inspired by Lisa!!

I think this must have been during the Duolingo giggle fits!!

Sharon left early morning to celebrate Sylvia's 30th Birthday!!
Anybody have any pictures or anything to share about that morning?
