Got up, had breakfast, said bye to Andrew and Tom, Mary and I went to Mike’s church to see him sing in his choir. Nice job! Said our goodbyes and off we go at 10:30 to Rick and Kate’s house. Our last stop before home!
We are driving Interstate 90 along Lake Erie through Ohio, northern corner of Pennsylvania and up to just before Buffalo NY. This road is the longest interstate in the country, running from Seattle WA to Boston. Riding along the Niagara River over the North Grand Island Bridge, we arrived at Rick and Kate’s in Niagara NY around 7:00. So glad to finally be here and to see my brother and sister in law. Their home is lovely and we have a nice guest room to stay in. I love their three cats but Rupert is my favorite.
Rick made us yummy blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Kate had to go to work today so after breakfast the three of us headed over to Niagara Falls State Park and did the Cave of the Winds tour. Another breathtaking beauty. We walked up to Hurricane Deck where it was the most beautiful view and got soaked, but it was so worth it. Saw the three falls, American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls and got a free pair of sandals to keep. What a great time. Came back to the house to just hang out for a while.
Quote from my brother which perfectly describes this. “Cave of the Winds. The stairs that the people are ascending, take you to the Hurricane Deck, where you are almost standing directly under the falls. We went up there. I don't even know how to accurately describe it, other than "awesome", in the literal sense. I stood there like Tim Robbins, after he crawls to freedom in "Shawshank Redemption", with my arms outstretched, just getting pounded by wind and water. It's spiritual, seriously.”
Beautiful!!!!
