Niagara Falls Honeymoon (Fiftieth Anniversary)

First two pictures are of the upper Niagara River as it approaches the falls.

Our first views of Niagara Falls from the American side. Below, a view of the Canadian Falls from the American side and the Maid of the Mist boat headed for the Canadian Falls.
First view of the city of Niagara Falls, ON, Canada, and a picture of the American Falls from the Maid of the Mist.

Another view of the American Falls from the Maid of the Mist. By this time, we are getting very wet. And a picture from the bridge to Canada. We had to go to Canada to get the Maid of the Mist ride.

Pictures of the falls from the Canadian side, one from the restaurant in which we had our first gourmet luncheon. Last picture is of the famous Floral Clock. The flowers and design are changed every three months.

Lake to Lake

Two pictures of Lake Ontario and folk sailing on the lake. We're in Conservative Mennonite country. The produce here reminds Bear of the Victory Gardens of WWII. The cauliflower was bigger than Sophie.
We're wrapping it up here in the Fingerlakes.

How We Got to New York

Saying goodbye to Keith and Jeremiah in Keith and Frances' front yard. Jeremiah is the next door neighbor and helped with cleaning our camper. Camping at Quantico Marine Base near Washington, DC. Spending time with Melissa Beatty McGrath and her girls, Veronica and Robin.
Before leaving Quantico we traveled to Easton, MD to see Louise (Weasie) and Art Shelby. Weasie is a second cousin I had not seen since I was a kid growing up in Hopewell, VA. In Harrisburg, PA we stopped for lunch with Bob and Carrie Beatty, friends from our days in France before Melissa (above) was born.

Friends who love Pennsylvania and the Susquehanna River Valley wanted us to grab some pictures of that area. We weren't able to get the pictures of the area around Harrisburg, which is the prettiest part of the Susquehanna, but we managed pictures around Lewisburg of a much narrower part of the river. Of course, we had to get pictures of Yogi Bear's Jellystone park where we stayed and of Bear at the helm of a ship anchored there.

Watkins Glen State Park, Watkins Glen, New York

Followed Seneca Lake on the west side of the lake all the way from Geneva to Watkins Glen, the full length of this Fingerlake.
