Niagara Falls--Slowly I Turned.....

We scheduled a short stay in Erie, PA to give us fairly easy access to Niagara Falls by car while still staying on the basic route to Ohio.  HeM had seen the falls many years ago, but SheM had not.  We found a KOA and made the stop.

We had scheduled 1 day to drive up, see both the USA side and the Canada side of the falls, and drive back.  We opted to park on the US side and walk across the bridge to Canada.

The falls are as we've all seen in so many pictures.  Viewing the falls are much better from the Canadian side.  Here are the American Falls:

And here are the Horseshoe Falls:

We were very impressed with how nicely Canada has landscaped the pathway along the viewing area.

And their Welcome Center is attractive.

We saw very little effort for the same level of attractiveness on the USA side.  For instance, the US Welcome Center is awash with blatant commercial advertising.

And this is the first thing you see as you step off the bridge from Canada entering the US.

We would like to see a lot more pride in our appearance exhibited by the US, but it doesn't seem likely.  We did enjoy seeing the falls.  We didn't take the time to don rain gear and trek down to the falls themselves, but maybe on another visit.  After all, it isn't that far from Ohio.

Speaking of Ohio, that's our next stop.  Our adventure is starting to wind down now as we approach the end of our 3rd year doing this.  We'll start looking for stationary homes in Ohio and Texas.  That will be another adventure altogether.  In the meantime, we'll make a couple more stops before we call this adventure complete.
