June 23-26, 2912 - Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada and Niagara Falls, New York, USA

I sure hope I don't ever get behind again!  I just realized that the blogs I just posted will now be out of order...bummer!  That means today's blog (June 27) when we arrived at Henderson Harbor, NY will be first (or last, depending on how you look at it), then Bellefonte, PA (June 21-22) and now Niagara Falls (June 23-26).  Oh well...here's our Niagara Falls adventure.....

The weather on June 23 was great and our drive through Allegany National Forest was quite picturesque...but it was not without a lot of anxiety!  The roads quite bumpy...and narrow at times...but we arrived in Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada safely, but exhausted.  Another great KOA campground but immediate problems with our phones, our Verizon router, and the campgrounds internet server.  Long story short...after talking to Verizon, signing up for the international plan, and then getting messages from them saying we had accrued $50 in charges and then $100 in charges, then another call to Verizon, we decided to limit our phone and internet service while we were in Canada.  Then after contacting the campground's internet server and getting the correct "code" that allowed our laptops "international service" the internet was so slow that we didn't have, or want to take the time, to even check email! 

The next day (June 24) we purchased one of the "packages" on the Canadian side of the Falls.  So much fun and quite breathtaking! 

Then, on Monday (June 25) we drove back to the "good old USA" and saw the Falls from the US side...WOW again!!!  On Tuesday (June 26) we spent the day doing "housekeeping" at the motorhome and taking care of bill paying, etc.  Now...the moment you have been waiting for.....pictures!  I will, again, try to post only a few pictures (I know, I haven't been so good at just posting a "few") and will then attach a link to the photo albums for those of you that want to see more.

Sunday, June 24...wow...what a fun and awesome day!  Starting with our bus trip to the Falls...












































































It's hard to pick pictures to post from thumbnails and particularly the ones we took at Niagara Falls.  We took some really good ones but, as those of you who have been there know, none of them  "do the Falls justice".  If you can take the time, click on the links to see all of the pictures, in the order we took them.

The next day we decided to go to the US side of the Falls...and we are so glad we did!  Equally amazing but from a different angle.  We loved the whole experience!!!





















































And last, but not least, here's the links to the rest of the pictures taken today.
