I left my apartment midday Thursday and promptly sat in an hour of traffic with hordes of other New Yorkers. I consider the extra time in the car a small price to pay for a chance to spend Fourth of July weekend with friends in Lake Placid.
Collective dreams of sunshine and barbecues quickly faded once we realized Lake Placid's July 4th forecast may not be in our favor. Thus far, Independence Day 2009 has been rife with cloudy skies, strong winds, and heavy rain. Thankfully we are a resourceful group so it didn't take us long to come up with an alternative to a traditional hot dog, hamburger, and beer filled afternoon outdoors. Setting aside fears that it may be considered sacrilege on a day when Americans are expected to be their most patriotic, we spent the holiday enjoying margaritas and fresh tacos at Casa Del Sol in Saranac Lake. With it's unassuming exterior, Casa Del Sol (House Of Sun- a very appropriate name for a dark, wet day) provides a welcoming atmosphere and authentic Mexican food including homemade corn chips with pico de gallo, flavorful tacos, and a multitude of delicious salt-rimmed margaritas.
