20101012: Ohio, New York, and Canadian Falls

What a beautiful day. Was in the mid 50's at 8am when we left our room. There is a National Park just outside Akron - Cuyahoga. We saw 2 very nice waterfalls, a very weird bug, and learned about the Erie Canal. Started for Buffalo, NY - have to go through part of PA to get there. After looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow (Thursday - only supposed to be in the 50's with rain) , we decided to hit Niagara Falls today.

Arrived at 3pm. Looked around, took pictures. I-Karen-actually climbed a bunch of steps to be in the spray. Got soaked but it was worth it. The temperature was 75.  We walked into Canada, took some more picture, ate dinner at Hard Rock Cafe Niagara Falls. We then walked back to the states after paying $0.50 each to walk through the Canadian Customs building, drove to our motel,  checked in, then drove to Calvary Chapel Niagara Frontier. Good service, nice people. Back to the room at 9pm. Wonderful day.

We added driving along Lake Erie to our list. When I posted the lakes I forgot that we went to several places on Lake Superior and the wonderful boat tour.
