Wednesday, July 16th Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada written 10:30 PM
Went into town and spent about three hours touring the Baseball Hall of Fame. Very interesting! Lots of cool stuff and even Venus enjoyed it, not being a baseball fan. Much of the Hall was closed, however, for renovations and expansion but it was well worth the trip. I got a cap and Venus and Abbot and Costello "Who" jersey. Ate lunch at Black Bart's Café, good hamburgers!
We drove up Route 28 to I90, took the New York Thruway toll all the way to Buffalo and crossed into Canada on the Peace Bridge. We are staying at a Best Western on Lundy's Lane in Niagara Falls tonight and tomorrow night. We took a drive past the falls to show Venus and JJ and they were impressed, much larger than they expected.
Ate dinner at Nick and Angelo's (JJ caught a fly between his thumb and forefinger, pretty cool!) and got our first Canadian money in change.
JJ took the coins. Exchange rate is 34% at a bank, 30% at our hotel and 20% at this restaurant. Back to the hotel in time for Jacuzzi, but the
jets quit working as soon as we got in. Venus is exchanging some US dollars for Canadian for our tour of the Falls area tomorrow
