Traveling Canadian Meme for Tuesday 4

 Late post for this Tuesday. Got home from work around 3:45, fixed dinner and now we are settling down for the evening. Off tomorrow...

Welcome to Tuesday 4 and new questions. We continue this meme in memory of Toni Taddeo and hope you will enjoy it enough to continue coming back.

Lets talk about Travel...

1. How far have you gone from home and where did you go?

Oh let's see we have traveled a lot...California, Texas, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, ---ok states except South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, Montana, Utah. We even have been to Mexico, Bimini, Bahamas, Cuba and Bermuda, Canada.

2. Do you think the hassle of travel is worth the trouble?

We will no longer fly due to the mandatory quarantine or even vaccines. We take our freedoms seriously, unlike foreign travelers who are getting a pass. I think traveling by car is the way to go...or train.

3. Are there places you would like to visit or have plans for visiting?

Sure, would love to visit Europe, especially Ireland and Scotland. But, won't be.

4. What trip was the best you've ever had?

I would say all the trips we have taken are the best...however, since we live so close to the border with Canada, I would say that. Border entry from NY to Canada.

So very friendly over there.

You can see the bridge we would have to walk across.

That would be the Boy Wonder and hubby...it was quite a hike from the car to the border crossing. I didn't dare take a photo once we handed over our Enhanced Drivers License (Like a Passport) to the Mountie/Customs agent. He was really friendly though and asked us questions etc...he was there each and every time we crossed these years.

That would be the Boy Wonder waiting for me, the hubby decided he wouldn't wait for us to make the walk across. Yes, you cross over the Falls/water to cross.

The first thing you see once you cross over is the Crowne Hotel...we all ooh lalala over that inside of the hotel. Beautiful. I didn't dare take photos. Then, we headed to Clifton Park.

Clifton Park. Its the amusement park in downtown Niagara. It was quite a hike.

You get the general idea...we spent time playing games etc. and had lunch.

I had crepes. They were really good.

That would be the husband...then we headed back down the hill to the Oaks, right dab smack in downtown, which is a beautiful "secret" garden.

It was a beautiful place, the people were pretty friendly. It was a nice place to cool down, because this was in late July 2019 when we went. It was near 100*.

More of the Oaks. Because it was so hot, we decide to make the trek across the street to the Falls.

The guys decided they would walk all the way down to the Horseshoe (Canadian falls)--I waited for them...it was nice and cool though because the falls no matter where you were, you could feel the spray. I took the photos from the veranda--all along the falls, there are walking trails/ brick walkways where folks could stop, sit, and just take photos.

That above is the American side looking from Canada. Canada is very clean, by the way, no trash, no graffiti etc...oh and don't expect privacy, there are cameras everywhere and police everywhere. Very friendly and more than happy to answer questions and always answer with "Eh". They thought we talked funny too. LOLOL

You can see the walkways along the falls/waterway

I do miss visiting...walking back over...the border has been closed due to Covid. No visitors are allowed either or (NY or Canada). Makes me sad...because we have to have Enhanced DL and we can not even use them.
