Day ten: Niagara Falls

I had a long drive to Niagara Falls so I took off quite early this morning. After a couple of hours if memory serves, I made a small detour for fuel through a little town called Perrysburg.

I walked around a bit in spite of the rain, they have a nice park near the river.

After leaving Perrysburg, on the way to Niagara Falls I also went through Cleveland.

I didn't stop. I'll have to come back there some day to check out the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame though.

Later that afternoon I made a longer detour through Erie, and stopped for a while in the Presque Ile State Park. The sky was still overcast, but the lake was beautiful anyway.

So big it's like a sea

I went on North, alternating views of the lake with views of the forests

I'm very happy to see the land covered in trees again, makes for a fresher driving. And they're changing colours everywhere, it's beautiful.

Finally I arrived near the Niagara river

and then WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO

I have to admit I thought they were larger than that, but still it's very impressive.
