We left London, Ontario this morning on back country roads to Port Dover on Lake Erie. There is a lot of diverse farming done here. Potatoes, peanuts, tobacco, oats, and of course corn. The farm buildings are like those I am used to in the USA except that most of the houses are brick and two stories. After about 50 miles we arrived at Port Dover ready for breakfast. But first we checked out the waterfront for awhile and naturally took a few pictures. There was a monument there to the fishermen who had lost their lives on the lake. It was another reminder about the dangers of maritime work and seemed to emphasize what we had seen at Whitefish Point on Lake Superior. Breakfast was had at Tim Horton's which is one of Canada's fast food restaurants that are found everywhere. They are also starting to appear in the USA. Then it was on more back roads until we arrived at Niagara Falls. We passed the $20 parking lots and found one 1/4 mile farther away for $4 an hour. We then joined the crowd looking at the falls. They were quite impressive. It was Linda's first time here and my second. Then it was on the bikes and into immigration control to return into the USA. When we got through CnC stopped to take a picture of the Welcome to New York sign. I did not see what they were doing and missed it. I too wanted a picture as it is the first time I have been in New York on this motorcycle. So I will have to find one on the New Hampshire border tomorrow. Of course we had to check out the falls from the USA side and take more pictures. In keeping with the honeymoon (luna di miele or moon of honey) tradition we got a picture of Linda and I with her holding a bouquet of clover blossoms. Finally we took off to find our motel for the night. Once again we found a motel room for not too much more than the KOA wanted for a tent site. Only 150 miles today.
Siamo partiti London, Ontario, Canada e guidato a Port Dover sul Lago Erie. Abbiamo usato le strade nella campagna e visto tante fattorie belle. A Port Dover abbiamo fatto qualche foto e anche mangiate colazione. Poi siamo andati a Niagara Falls fra Lago Erie e Lago Ontario. Sono una bella vista. Si deve vedere le cascate da entrambi Canada egli Stati Uniti cosi siamo fermati sul altro lato e fatto piu' foto. Niagara Falls e una destinazione popolare per i nuovi sposati per fare la luna di miele. Cosi io e Linda ha fatto una foto come i nuovi sposati. Linda ha avuto un bouquet di fiori dall'erba, molta carina. Stasera stiamo al motel economico. 150 miglia.
