Clifton Hill in the morning.
Niagara-on-the-Lake didn't look this colorful in November!
Such a quaint town.
It's much nicer than in winter.
Though parking is harder.
No where as good as the chimney cakes we had in Budapest and Prague.
Lunch at the attractive inside and out The Epicurean.
Crabcakes
Their apple fritter are round with a filling.
Cookies!
Pumpkin Cheesecake.
Queen's Royal Park sits where the Niagara flows into Lake Ontario.
After stopping in Port Erie, crossing the Peace Bridge into....
....Buffalo, USA.
First time at Anchor Bar years ago, I was sooo excited to visit where the buffalo wing was created. Which was odd since I don't think wings are good AND they are unhealthy.
Then I found my face smeared with buffalo sauce and a pile of chicken bones. Good golly.
After President McKinley was assassinated in 1901, it took 3 days for Theodore Roosevelt to get to Buffalo to take the oath of office in this house. I toured it in 2011.
