Mile 684 – London. No, we’re not at the Olympics, but in Ontario, Canada. Long day. We started at 8:20 AM, stopped at 9 PM. On the way we went through Ithaca and Interlaken, NY, where P.J. went to visit her Great Aunt Esther’s gravesite, her inspiration for this trip.
Onwards to Niagara Falls, Canadian side. I was there 40 years ago. I was appalled at the crass commercialism that has developed since then. Big hotel skyscrapers, $20 minimum parking fee, even if you just want to stop for 10 minutes (although 1 mile away parking is $5 or free). So P.J. and I dropped each other off and hovered in the car while we took turns taking pictures. That was enough. The natural phenomena is still impressive. Too bad we managed to deface it.
