Tourist Time

Sunday was cool and drizzly, so we stayed home and read and napped after attending the local church in the morning.  The Buffalo Bills football team turned a surprising lead into an embarrassing loss, but we really haven’t been following any of the teams yet this year.  We are camped at the fairground which is pretty close to the stadium – we could see the blimp hovering over the stadium furnishing views from above during the game. 

Monday was forecast as a nice day, so what did we do after renewed our wedding vows last week?  We went to Niagara Falls!  We have been there a couple of times before, on the Canadian side.  Yesterday we played tourist on the NY side of the falls.  The NY side is not as touristy and the city is actually a pretty depressed looking area.  The park is pretty and scenic but the shopping area is pretty vacant and unkempt. 

 

Before going to the Falls, we stopped at a store we had heard of – Made in America Store.  Everything in the store is made in America.  Apparently this store has been featured on some of the national news shows.  It was very nice and since we were there at the same time a tour bus was, the owner gave us the 10% discount and homemade cookies! 

Today we’re taking our time getting ready to move to a different campground.  It’s another dreary, drizzly day again.  Minnesota weather is sure looking better than this!!
