Another Day at Niagara Falls

Actually, we just spent part of the day here. We awoke to a driving rain -- too much to drive in! So we opted to stay here another day and try to find some indoor things to do. Well, by the time we finished our leisurely breakfast, it was actually SUNNY out! So off we went to Fort Erie, to visit the fort there and get the history.

It was a short drive -- probably less than 20 miles -- and a pretty drive. It didn't rain on our way, but it did get cloudy again. We went first to the Fort Erie History Museum in downtown Fort Erie. This museum is small, and dedicated to the memory of the small battle there which started Canada into its process of becoming a country.

We had to drive a bit further to get to the actual Fort Erie. This is a quite nicely restored stone fort with lots of authentic accoutrements of the day, including some fine cannons! While it rained during some of our tour, we also enjoyed a few dry minutes where the sky was gray, heavy, and threatening.

We drove back on up to Niagara Falls and parked at the Fallsview Casino. We enjoyed a walk around in the *smokefree* casino before hitting the Grand Buffet. It was... GRAND... and we feasted on many delicious foods.
