I spent the day with friends and family at the Canal Fest of the Tonawandas along the Erie Canal.


My friend Darrell, Jacqueline, and Paige get tossed around on "Freak Out".
Madison, my sister-in-laws niece, enjoys a candy apple.
There was an awful lot of boats on the canal.
The festivities continue on the Niagara County side of the canal on Sweeney Steet.
These water bicycles were all over the canal.

The historic Riviera Theater on Webster Street in NT (North Tonawanda).

On saturday the whole gang went on an excursion to Niagara County. The first stop, Old Fort Niagara on Lake Ontario where the Niagara River intersects in Youngstown. The front gate is quite impressive.
The French Castle (c.1726) is the oldest building on the campus.
Sail boats take advantage of the beautiful day on Lake Ontario.


Some "British" soldiers roam the grounds.
The South Redoubt.
Cover your ears!
A close up of the dormers on the castle.
The "haunted" well in the castle where supposedly during a full moon the "Headless Horsemen" comes back searching for his head, alledged to have but cut off and thrown down the well.

A very old window with stained glass panes (top) reflects off the stairs on my way down (bottom).
A close up of a very old lock.
After the fort we headed to Niagara Falls. Here's Abby, Paige, and Jeremy posing at the International Border.

We started off by walking to Canada via the Rainbow Bridge. Here's the beautiful British Garden in front of the Canadian Customs Building.
A view of the Rainbow Bridge from Canada.
A great shot of the outdoor shopping area and the bridge.
The Maid of the Mist along the Canadian side.
Walking back to the states back over the bridge.

The observation deck on the U.S. side.

Here's me at the base of the falls getting soaked!

Last night I went out with friends and family to Club Marcella. Thats a deer in the headlights look if I ever seen one.
Chris and Liz working on some drinks.
Me and Debbie "work" the pole.
My turn, my turn!
Chris with the gals.
Yesterday my sister-in-law, her sister Debbie, and I went to tour the Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna (Native American for "fork in the river"). Built between 1921 and 1925 this Italianate structure has 46 different types of imported marble. Despite your religious beliefs it is an architectural must see!
This picture shows the east side of the Basilica.
