Hi, everyone,
We saw "the Falls" today---from the Canadian side. You would not believe how depressed the American side is. It's shameful what the city fathers and the state of New York have allowed to happen to the city once known as the "Honeymoon Capital." There were very few people walking the trash-strewn streets. Buildings are either boarded up or tackily painted. We didn't feel safe. We decided to go on to Canada. The Canadians have capitalized on America's lack of pride.
I rained all day, so I didn't get great pictures. And, we didn't go on the Maid of the Mist. It might have been o.k. if it hadn't been 50 degrees. Joe and I were definitely in the minority. Just as at Yellowstone, the Japanese were the most visible tourists.
Now, the Falls. They are magnificent! Indescribable. Breathtaking. Wet.
Speaking of rain, it's been raining for 2 days and promises to continue for 2 more, at least. We're driving SE tomorrow toward the Finger Lakes. Hopefully by Thursday we'll be able to really see the leaves.
I'll post pics next time.
See ya!
