We arrived in Buffalo and got our rental car. Here is a picture of Mom and Jason just before we departed from the airport. We have a navigational device that promises us we'll never get lost....
We are pretty sure we will prove it wrong!
Our first stop was The Anchor Bar. This, according to their story, is where buffalo wings were invented. They did not disappoint. Buffalo is full of some amazing old buildings.
It took us awhile to get through Canadian customs. We assume all the people were going home from the Buffalo Bills football game. In finding our hotel we got our first glimpse of Niagara Falls and all I can say is AMAZING! I have been wanting to come here my entire life and it is not disappointing. I will say we are really looking forward to taking a walk along the river tomorrow morning as we find the falls to be much more spectacular during the day.
We had dinner reservations at the Skylon restaurant. Here is a view of the tower:
In this pic you can see the elevator car arriving at the restaurant and observation levels:
Unfortunately the dinner was a bit overhyped and it was way too expensive for what you got. The falls are lighted at night but not spectacularly so and overall I am sure the view is much better during the day. None of my pictures of the falls this evening turned out so you will have to wait until tomorrow for those. Just one of those touristy things you have to try once to see whether or not it's worth it.
Plan to take lots more pictures tomorrow and we have a couple of fun excursions planned. Our destination for tomorrow evening is Olympic Village at Lake Placid.
Here is a picture of the three of us:
