I don't know how many parts there will be to this Niagara Falls series of posts--at least 2! Today Daisy and I traveled from Pittsburgh to Niagara Falls. We traveled thru' some pretty towns in NY before we got here as I had to get off the highway for a while. One little town, Brockton, had US flags on almost every house and street light--very refreshing!
We went all the way to the American Falls on NY side of things and got there a bit before noon. We walked for over an hour, and I took lots of pictures, some of which I will post. In some of the pictures you can see the Sheraton hotel across the way, which is where we are now. The view of the falls from here is also incredible; pictures on that tomorrow!
You'll also see in the pictures the first one of Daisy (the world's most spoiled dog) in Canada--having an ice cream outside a McDonald's. She was really well behaved on our long walk around Niagara Falls--there were lots of people and she allowed a lot of children to pet her. She was also quite calm when we crossed into Canada--that may have something to do with the hour+ walk and the Benadryl I gave her when we left for the border! Crossing was easy--just showed my passport and Daisy's rabies vaccination certificate and declared I had nothing to declare. We didn't even get out of the car!
The Falls are truly impressive, but so is the number of tourists and touristy things to do and places to go. We're only doing the stuff that Daisy can do, as I am not allowed to leave her alone in the room for even a minute. So right now we are relaxing in the room--she with a few treats, me with a glass of wine. I'm told the crowds thin out about 7 pm, so I'll feed her then take her for a long walk then. More pictures!
Lots more to come on the Falls and traveling with daisy. For now here are some pictures.
