New York & Ontario – The Other End of the Rainbow (Bridge)

The Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls

 

We stopped in Buffalo New York to visit Barbara’s friend Jeanne. What a special treat to reconnect, stay in the home she grew up in, and do a little sightseeing.

Jeanne was very gracious to cater to our desire to go over the bridge to Canada. Bill did not have a clear memory of having been to Ontario, so we wanted to make it official and that’s what we did, driving over the Peace Bridge.

And here is Barbara with her dear friend Jeanne.

We drove along the Niagara River passing the Chinese restaurant Barbara used to go to and following the river as it heads to the falls. It’s a pleasant drive with nice homes and a view of the river. Several parks line the route. We stopped at one where Barbara found an Ontario letterbox.

Then Jeanne dropped us off and we walked across the Rainbow Bridge.

On the way back to Jeanne’s, we swung by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House. We only had time for a quick pic of the outside, but they now offer tours which we hope to catch on our next trip to Buffalo.

Thanks, Jeanne, for a great visit!
