Dim sum was an unexpected find in Cleveland; Erik and friends clearly love the place. Li Wah doesn't hold up to 626 or 415 standards, but they are plenty adequate for Ohio.

Did some of the usual Cleveland highlights after, including a trip to Microcenter. I forget the name of the park we went to after (part of Erik's dad life), but Elayne loved it-- she could have stayed all day. Did a quick trip to REI and then Whole Foods after, which meant a delicious home-cooked meal by Erik and Dawn, before we did an evening walk to ice cream at Mason's Creamery. Yum!
