Niagara Falls

Today we took a tour to Niagara Falls.  The bus picked us up at the campground and took us over to Canada to tour that side.  You really can’t appreciate the beauty & power from a picture, it’s truly an awe-inspiring experience.

Then the tour bus wouldn’t start ~ LOL!  We sat in the park for about 30 minutes waiting for a vehicle to come give us a jump.

It was a great day, finally some nice sunny weather and a magnificent show by Mother Nature.

We called a Winnebago Repair facility in CT this morning and we have an appointment for July 6th to get the steps repaired….they have the parts in stock.  Now we’re trying to figure out where we’ll go from here.  We had planned on heading to Maine, but I don’t want to be rushed in my lobster sampling, so we’ll go there after the steps are fixed.  We’ll sit down tonight and stare at the map and see what looks fun between here & CT.
