The first stop was a Tesla supercharger about 10 miles away. A nearby breakfast place called First Watch reminded us of Santa Cruz. It had a college town vibe and there were lots of healthy options. My favorite was a kale tonic, with kale, apple, cucumber and lemon. It is much better than it sounds.
Today is a travel day and tomorrow we are picking up some friends and driving to Niagara Falls. Unfortunately their house is just north of a huge "supercharger black hole" which is out-of-range of superchargers so if you drive in you can not make it out. To avoid the black hole we would have to drive several hundred miles around the area to get to a supercharger close enough to make it to their house and then up to Niagara Falls. But there is a hotel in the black hole with a charger, so we are going to stay there (in Corning, NY) and charge overnight so we will have enough charge in the morning for our trip.
Our Tesla keeps track of our whereabouts and tries to give us helpful hints along the way. She doesn't know that we have a destination charger already reserved for an all night charge this evening. She was pretty persistent in trying to get us to change our route. When we entered the black hole she warned us with this message: "Plan Your Next Charge. You are almost too far from known charging locations"
Driving went very quickly and we made it to Corning in time to visit the Corning Glass Museum. It is dedicated to the art, history and science of glass. It was incredible! The glass blowing demonstration and the history of glass was very interesting.
There was a special exhibit that provided a glimpse into Tiffany’s workshop.
We had a lovely dinner at the Market Street Brewing Company in downtown Corning. Sampling beer at local breweries is becoming a favorite pastime of ours. Tom is on a quest to taste all things hoppy. I'm not a fan but I can now distinguish between some different types of hops. Tom gets a kick out of my reviews.
