Dave and I went to Niagra Falls this week to celebrate my birthday (Don't ask which one!). Anyway, we stayed at a bed a Breakfast (The Ellis House) which was a first experience for us. It was nice but....... we like the conveniences of a hotel.

The Falls were beautiful and the area very touristy???? They even have two casinos there. Everything is a bit pricey, but all in all, worth the visit.










Take a look at this squirrel..... They have black squirrels in this area. We asked about them and they are only in the city. Isn't that weird? They are so much bigger than our Florida squirrels.





There we

re three sets of Falls, all right next to each other. The falls are coming from Lake Erie and going into Lake Ontario. We stayed on the Canadian side of Niagra Falls which is definitely the nicer side in all aspects. The view of the Falls is spectacular and the area so much nicer. The owner of the Bed and Breakfast in Canada described the New York side as looking like bombed out Beirut. I don't know that I would go as far to say that, but it definitely doesn't measure up to the Canada side.


Take a look at these kites!!
The Canadian's definitely take their kite flying seriously.
Although, I never did see one actually get into the air.

Well, that's all for now. Our next trip will be to PA for Tyina's (not sure of the spelling but Isreal's daughter's) wedding on November 18th. Hope to see some of you there.

Take care for now.
