Buffalo, Ny - July 2021 with Lin
Lin and I visited Buffalo during the summer months. We spent some time driving around north of the city and seeing the sights. We also had a chance to visit with Danielle and JJ. Diana happened to be in at the same time. Later, we visited with Emmy and Joel. It was nice to see their place and spend some time with them.
Lockport |
The first day, we travelled to Lockport to take a ride on a canal boat. This is a pretty cool adventure. The tour takes us through a couple of locks. It is fun to see how the locks work and discover some history about the canal itself. There is also a canal museum to visit.

Lin enjoyed taking some pictures of flowers and the statues at the museum
Lake Ontario and the Erie River
Next we traveled north to see Lake Ontario. Along the way, we visited the Hydro-Electric plant and toured the museum. We also spent some time at Whirlpool state park after getting lunch at Linda's Main Street Cafe'. The hike along Erie River was something to see. The rapids are amazing when you see them up close and personal.
Whirlpool rapid made my heart pound.

Rapids further upstream seem even bigger than Whirlpool.

Buffalo
Lin and I took a walk out to the lighthouse. It was a windy, but beautiful day.
Emmy and Joel
We stayed at a little in at Houghton. Didn't take many pictures but we were able to see their apartment, where they work, and the surrounding area.
