Since I have managed to get way behind on our blog, I am going to skip past a few details to catch up. From Montreal, we drove along Lake Superior and Lake Ontario to Four Mile Creek State Park in New York. From there, we visited Niagara Falls, which was only 15 min. away. I don't know if it was the rainy weather, but it felt more like checking one of those huge tourist attractions off the list than a rewarding experience. The Falls are spectacular, and we took the time to walk over the bridge to view them from the Canadian side. They have really managed to turn this into a Disneyland-like place: thrill-seeking rides, wax museums, and arcade rooms galore. There's really nothing else to do here, so we played a few of those motorcycle racing and shooting games. I think I quenched at least five years of needing to enter one of those places again, but I wouldn't put money on shaune: if left alone, I have a strong feeling I would find him riding one of those plastic motorcycles, shifting gears, dazed by the video screen.A week was about 6 days too long here, but Shaune got some work done, which put us in a good place for our next stop: Chicago! We were in the prime of upstate New York's apple season, and nearly every block were stands selling baskets full of a variety of apples. We were also lucky to catch the tomato season up here, one week longer than we had anticipated for fresh tomatoes.
