As the days are going to be wet this coming week we decided to take advantage of a beautiful sunny, warm Saturday and go for a drive to Niagara Falls. I have been there many times, too many to count, as every time family or friends came to visit from the UK the Falls was always on their agenda.
We packed a picnic lunch, ham and cheese sandwiches, an assortment of veggies to nibble on, grapes and apples. This lunch meant we did not have to expose ourselves to a lot of people in a restaurant. We are fully vaccinated, but these days we just cannot be too careful.
Arriving at the Falls we were very much surprised by the number of people, we are in the midst of a pandemic folks. We had plans to walk along the Falls area, but decided it was not a very good idea. We found a nice shady tree and ate our lunch. Unfortunately, I received a sting from a wasp, when not looking is landed on my ankle and when I moved my foot it stung me. It is still burning this morning.
It was getting late in the day so time to make the trip home again. The sun was starting to set, it was a pity there were not some clouds as it was going down as it would have been a beautiful sunset. There was a lovely red and orange sky though. We had the sun setting in front of us and the moon rising behind us and clear skies above. Then, as it does these night, darkness fell in a hurry, and so did the temperature. A stop for sweaters was called for, and miles down the road it became quite cold, so unfortunately, we put the top up. All in all it was a lovely day.
Today, Sunday, is suppose to be even better, so another ride could be in the offing.
So gotta go. talk to you tomorrow.
