Day 42 - 743 miles from Brantford, ONT to Niagara Falls, NY

Michael and Anne rode the Co-Motion the 74 miles to Niagara Falls. Again the Lord blessed us with a great day as we had a nice tailwind and the temperature was in the low 70's with little or no humidity.

Today we left Canada and got back to the USA!

The highlight for both of us was getting to see Niagara Falls for the first time. Much more on that later.

We finally found out that Canada is not totally flat.


I don't know what happened to the rest of this blog; however, I will try again.


We found out that not all of Canada is flat.


This started a challenge for us as for the next 8 miles we encountered some short grades (thank goodness) of  nearly 15% and some tricky descents. Nonetheless, with Anne powering us, we made it!


This a drawbridge that is now just a bridge.


Had to get a picture of this new Catholic HS named St Michael!


As we came down this street, this is what we saw, the American Falls, Wow!


Then, the Canadian Falls, even a bigger Wow!


A group picture of those around us at the time.


One of us. Over 3,200 miles at this point - a wow for us.


 Panoramic view of the Canadian waterway.


Canada as started to really take advantage of the Falls as these attractions have been constructed within the last few years.



From the bridge between Canada and USA. The little plaque to right of center is the International Dividing Line.


Waiting in line to pass through US Customs.


We made back to the USA, yeah! Didn't forget our Passports!


What better way to celebrate returning to the USA - eating ice cream, Pumpkin Pie, Yummy!


Tomorrow, is a Rest Day in Niagara Fall, NY.
