New York

Marilyn again...
Kim just called (10:15p.m.) and said they were still on the road and had an hour to go to get to Syracuse, N.Y. where they are spending the night.
It was rainy and cool most of the day...all the way through Canada, so they did not see much.
They had to eat their picnic lunch in the car. When they got to Niagara Falls ( I spelled it right this time), it was rainy off and on, but not cold. There were traffic backups. They had fun at the falls----they rode the "Maid of the Mist" boat, which took them very close to the falls and they got soaked......Kim said "worse than any water park ride". Their hair was dripping and her mascara too. Kim said it is a real commercial area ---all the big attractions~~Hard Rock, Planet Hollywood, etc. also casinos. It has been many years since I have been there and it was not like that, so I would not know the area any more. Just like Poland for me...when I was there in 1984 it was so different and then when I was there in 1986 in just two years it had changed a lot~~~~now I would not know it. But I do hope to return once again. Back to the travels....after the falls they went to Buffalo, N.Y. to visit some good friends and ended up eating dinner with them---buffalo wings in Buffalo, N.Y. Neat, hu?! I think they will be on their way to Bar Harbor, Maine....but I don't know what there plans are for other stops on the way. Some of it will depend on the weather. They would like a beach day. They had no trouble with customs with Nora in or out of the country. Nora does have a notarized letter with her with permission from her parents to be with Kim and Darren and travel with them. We will see what tomorrow brings.
Til next time.......
