Cazenovia, NY to Niagara Falls, Ontario

After breakfast at the Brewster Inn we headed west towards our next destination: Niagara Falls, Ontario. On the advice of the innkeeper at the Brewster Inn, we took route 92 west around the big hills on route 20. We rejoined route 20 near Skaneateles, New York. We went right by the beautiful Sherwood Inn (where we had stayed in 2007) and through the beautiful "downtown" area.
We had great views of bucolic upstate NY farms and got wonderful glimpses of the Finger Lakes. We were on route 20/5 on the top of the Finger Lakes and decided to get a sandwich at a Subway in Caledonia, NY. While at the Subway (we got the Buffalo chicken sandwich) we met the Chief of Police. We asked about a good place in town to have a picnic lunch and he told us about a park in town that would be a good spot. So, under sunny skies we enjoyed a great lunch.

Rolling hills, great scenery and a fine day for Model Aing followed. We had no problems clearing customs after crossing the Rainbow Bridge into Canada and after "minimal delays" we settled into our hotel - The Sheraton on the Falls - in Niagara Falls, Ontario. We all had "falls facing" views of the American and Canadian "Horseshoe" Falls. Slowly we turned and step by step we all enjoyed the fabulous view and snacks from our sky high rooms!

At 6:30 PM we walked along Falls Boulevard all the way up to the Horseshoe Falls where the power of Niagara mesmerized us while we got soaked by the mist coming up from thundering water.
