walk is done! Today started out nice, sunny and warm in West Seneca, but by noon the weather was cold, extremely windy and blowing rain. When that started, we just happened to be at Main Street and Swan in downtown Buffalo so we treated ourselves to a free street-car ride. I love trains and trams - - we've done street-cars in San Diego, San Francisco, Amsterdam and other places. By the time that little break was over, the blue sky was again in view. Walked through the central round (I was going to call it the central square, but in Buffalo it's round.), gingerly walked past a huge crane that was swaying in the wind, and by 3:30 we were at the bridge and into Canada. Margaret's a bit like me. We like the States and its people, but, we do 
sing a few phrases of O Canada when we return.And for the first time in 48 nights, we're not at a motel. Instead, we're in the home of friends. Margaret's sister and husband are at a place on the Niagara River near Queenston Village. Pleasant, quiet, relaxing.
Margaret occasionally asks me if we're writing a book after this thing is over. What we've posted on this blog is only a tiny fraction of the stories we could tell. And, I have more than five hundred pictures on file to help to bring back the memories. I'm also on my second trip diary so..., maybe.
