Nature Ali's Grand Adventure - Day 9, June 28th.

We toured Niagara Falls which is an amazing place. It was the first location where the weather was not as cooperative with light rain on and off all day. The falls are split basically in two with Horseshoe Falls separating the United States from Canada. The American Falls are solely in the U.S.
We wandered around taking photos and then hiked on the Three Sisters Islands, we called our sister Tara so all three Sheehey sisters were present on the Island, it made the experience more complete. Margot and I wished Tara was with us but cell phones are great for sharing the moment.
We would have driven into Canada which would have been a first for me but alas, you now need a passport to visit our neighbors now. Got to love all the freedoms we lost with the Patriot Act.
Anyway, with a wish to visit all of the New England states we drove off to Bennington, Vermont and then down to Massachusetts and New Hampshire on our way to Maine. Margot drove almost the entire way as exhaustion set in and I was falling asleep at the wheel. She was amazing as she drove all night. We arrived at Bar Harbor, Maine as dawn broke.
739 miles
