Niagara Falls NY. Being so close, Could not pass up the opportunity to visit the falls. This is a part of the falls, it is called the Bridal Veil Falls. (Click Here) if you want to know more, and click on some of the links there.

Am now in northern Ohio, south east of Toledo. From here will go north of Detroit MI to visit bike buddy Sean and his family. If he is in town that is, he does a bit of globe trotting.

Niagara Falls whether NY or Ontario, is worth a good look. Photos do not do justice to this natural wonder. Of course man, as usual,  has done some tweaking. Like diverting about 50% of the river flow thru man made underground tunnels to generate power.

I know you don’t need another photo of Rouel, but you have it with a piece of the Falls and looking to Niagara Falls Ontario.

Can’t go to Ohio and not visit with sis Joyce and her family. They live in Canton Ohio. Of course we had a good time. George is retired, “smart” people do that.

Now, I have visited with all my siblings this year. San Diego and Sacramento CA, Tampa and Ft Lauderdale FL, Atlanta area GA, and Canton OH. Also visited with great friends in FL and ME, and met some new friends who live in Corpus Christi TX, and Rockland ME. Met for the first time a 1st cousin, once removed (daughter of a 1st cousin) in Atlanta GA. And was very glad to hook up with bike buddies Sandra and Robert while they vacationed in ME.

Sis Joyce with on the left, Husband George, and son Gabriel. Of course we were doing dinner. Great ribs I had. I have realized that we should not let years go by for seeing siblings, it takes time to re-acquaint. There have been many things that I have not taken time for, emails and phone calls is not enough for siblings.

Furthermore, it is a small world and yet so big; last year went to a wedding in Mazatlan, Mexico, for bike buddies Don and Louise’s son Kevin. There I met a retired couple, Tom and Dana, friends of the brides family, we talked about retirement and my plans, who do I run into? in a campground in Scarborough ME, we talked briefly and parted ways again.

Am headed westward, it feels good.
