Day 3: Laundry and Day Road Park

It was a stay at home and play games day.  I wanted to wash our masks as I knew that mine personally had been drenched in sweat and had evidence of food.  In addition I had washed three days worth of clothes along with the masks.  I didn’t even bother to sort into piles, but washed everything in one load.

Later on we took to cars to Day Road Park.  Carrie says they call it that because it is located on Day Road.  Original, right?  Here are some of the photos we took

Across the street from the park.  Flags were at half mass everywhere

inside of the park.  Remembering those who fell victims to COVID

Carrie says Santa will come to this house each Christmas season

Day 2: Niagra Falls

As with Lockport, the visitor’s center at the falls was also closed.  There were a few gift shops as well as eating places that were open.  No tours.  No boat rides.  No crossing the Canadian border – because even if the border was open, we don’t have passports.

There was a time that one could travel to Canada from the states (and vice-versa) without a passport if one had another form of ID.  Apparently that is not the case anymore – though I don’t know when the change occurred.  I would guess in 2016 when Trump became president.  What a jerk!  What is wrong with people to have elected and voted for him!  I hope that citizens in other countries are aware that Donald Trump does not represent me nor most of those I associate with.

Not much to say.  Enjoy the photos.

First Day: Lockport

The first picture that I took as we made our to the locks

Behind the gate is the first lock which would  raise or lower level for each boat

Randy told us that the boats would line up and spend three days waiting for transfer

He said that is when the town started to build up as those transporting would have a three day wait

notice the height of the stairs.  I had to bend my knee with each step

the jackhammer crew that Randy kept on apologizing for.  They
 are working on another set of stairs so they're not so steep

newest lock is on the left opposite of the red platform

I think this was a gift shop that was closed

Jenna liked the optical illusion of being a wall goat.

pay attention

I took this from the railing of that bridge

This is the bridge from picture prior.  Ends at the church.

This was taken from the church end of the bridge

In addition to the locks we were introduced to downtown lockport and the high school near Randy's house.  Here are some more pictures that I took (out of many)
