The quaint village of Lake Placid is best known for hosting the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics, but it is a beautiful gem in the Adirondacks for a myriad of activities. Skiing, skating, hiking, kayaking, and biking are a few of the pursuits which draw visitors to this region. I spent the past two days in Lake Placid where I was able to spread some random acts of kindness. All the public parking near the shops are metered, so my first action was to place coins in the kiosk that prints the parking receipts.The next couple of people seeking to pay for their parking found it had been covered. My second deed took place at one of the popular restaurants. Our waitress was delighted to credit my donation to the bill of an older couple who was enjoying a quiet meal together. Little surprises are always appreciated, but when one is traveling,small acts like these will leave a positive impression about the area on those tourists.
