This time we just stuck to the boat. It is an old restaurant boat that Matt's company has converted into a floating office. They have retained the kitchen and bar, and at 5pm every night a 'beer gong' is rang and the employees head up on deck to drink some beers.
This is the view from the back of the boat, looking over lake Erie. I am really looking forward to doing some more exploring around the lake. We were told that there are some islands on the lake with B&Bs that are a nice way to spend a weekend. We shall definitely be giving that a go! And we shall also be renting some jet skis sometime soon while the weather is still nice!
After being shown around the boat we headed to a place I've been wanted to try since we decided we were coming to Cleveland: Superior Pho!!
We were a little nervous approaching it as it was in what appears to be a dying part of cleveland. It was in a back alley and not visible from the street. We felt a little more confident when we saw how full the car park was.
I ordered Pho tai (noodle soup with round steak). It was good BUT it was NOT as good as Gold Mountain's Pho. Gold Mountain has set a high standard for fragrant broth. The other Phos I have had all have a lighter broth. It was still good, but certainly no replacement for my drug of choice ;)

We met up with an old colleague of Matts for lunch with his wife. There was a bit of confusion as they had gone into ANOTHER Pho restaurant behind the one we were meeting at. That made me very happy, it means there's more Pho to be tried!!!!There is also a korean restaurant inside the same building as Superior Pho and we will give that a try too :)
After returning from our time downtown we took the dogs to the national park next to us to try out a different trail.
There was a horse trail too. Here is Matt and Lucy trekking down the horse trail :)
Tonight we bought a small dinner table from Target and had some roast chicken with wild rice and veggies for dinner, accompanied by a good glass of claret.
