Canada!!!! (Day 3) 9/11/09

Today, we groggily aroused from our tent, to find that it was raining just enough to thoroughly soak our tent on the outside. While Dad got up to make his Java, Greta and I trudged down to the bathroom after we woke up. We then cleaned up a soggy campsite, and set off for New York and Ontario at around 10:00.

I watched Top Gear for a good hour, and then dad made us do some work. I was reluctant, and did very little of it =P. We made it past some pretty nice sights in Pennsylvania; the colors there were just,  just beginning to turn.

We made it to the Old Dominion state in one piece, and stopped for lunch at about 1:00. To our pleasant surprise, we were in Wind Turbine heaven!

We must have spotted a good 50 of them over the course of today's driving.

5 hours into our ride, we hit the most anticipated part of our week. Canada! We crossed at the Peace Bridge right where Lake Erie turns into the river that forms Niagara Falls.

The US Dutifully doing their job of keeping eager Canadians from swimming across to the 'Land where the roads are paved with Gold!' (see the fenced-off wall in the water)

We asked the guy at the next booth for directions to get to Niagara Falls, specifically we asked him if we should just follow the signs. He said 'Oh no, if you follow the signs yeh won't get very far. The signs don't move, yeh see.'
( Actually, further into Canada the stop signs just say 'stop')
