Low bridge, everybody down!

Yesterday, we traveled from Albany to the Erie Canal, where we took a boat tour and went through Lock 18. 


The captain tells us that a boat ran into the lock causing a break in the seal.  Thus the leak below, he calls 'Angel Wings'. 


From Erie Canal, we went to Green Lakes State Park in New York, where Ernie took a spin on Daniel's bike.   Ernie says "It goes fast!"




Today, we had a wonderful day riding through eastern New York to Niagara Falls.   Enjoyed a boat tour at the base of the falls, a walk 'under' the falls, and watched a 360 degree film of how the falls were formed.  We ended the day watching fireworks over the falls.  Spectacular!

American Falls in the evening.


Below is Horseshoe Falls.  



Spent lots of time wearing rain ponchos, getting splashed, then watched the fireworks in the rain.  A wet, wonderful day.
