The sun had returned finally after a few cloudy and partly cloudy days! The temperature was in the 70’s and not a cloud in the sky!
Niagara Falls was awesome, just like we had remembered it only it seemed like the area around the Falls had really built up with hotels and tourist attractions. We went to the Canadian side to do our viewing. It was breezy around the viewing area and the mist from the Falls fell on us, but not bad. Since we had done the Maid of the Mist boat trip when we were here many years ago, we decided to forego it as you can get pretty wet even though they provide you with rain garments. That is the boat cruise that takes you close to the bottom of the Falls. We walked along the path at the top and took lots of pictures and videos. The flowers along the path were beautiful -- lots of mums. Since it was such a beautiful day, there were lots and lots of people out. Here are few of the many pictures we took.
After lunch we drove northeast of the Falls to a town named Lockport. The town has two locks that let boats and ships through the Erie Canal. There was a self-guided walking tour around the locks that we did. It is quite an historical place. I’m sure if Larry was writing this, he would have a lot more to say about the locks. Ha!
Got back to the motor home about 4:30 and Larry did some cleaning on the outside of the RV. We had a lot of trouble trying to connect with WiFi at our campsite so that was disappointing. Had to drive up close to the office to get connected, but they had told us we should be able to connect from our campsite. Wrong! Hopefully, we can get somewhere where we can send this blog today.
We are on I-90 on our way to Dayton/Springfield, OH area this morning. Didn’t get too early of a start and it is at least an 8-hour drive. Oh well, it is a beautiful sunny day for it.
It looks like we may be back home by next weekend. We don’t really have any plans to do sightseeing once we leave Dayton. Can’t wait to get my hands on our little granddaughter!
Bye for now. Larry and Glenda
P.S. Happy Birthday, Suzanne!!! It was good talking to a few people last night. Sorry we weren’t back in time for your surprise party! Miss you!
