Still doing some vacation catch-up here, and then you will be returned to your regular crafty programming. One update though, the link to the Diane Rehm show featuring Alex Vernon is up, and after the show you can listen to the podcast after the show tomorrow.

On our way to upstate New York, we cut across Ontario and stopped at Niagara Falls. We were surprised to see all of the casinos on the Canadian side. They have the classic honeymooner part of town that is slowly giving away to high-rise luxury.

We were glad to be on the very wet Canadian side, where there are more views of the falls. There were so many international tourists there, and everyone was very dressed up and soaking wet.

We weren’t sure how to read the gas station signs in Canada. I think this one means beaver is $13 at the 7-11.

On the American side, a tower was built so people could actually see the falls. We crossed back into the US right next to the tower.
