As I sit and wait for transportation to Pearson on Friday, let me tell you of my adventure in Niagara-on-the-lake, Wednesday... After walking over to the bus terminal to purchase a ticket back to To. Thursday, caught a cab to N-o-t-l... The driver's name is Esmile, nicknamed "Smile" for good reason, such a nice fellow... The ride was a flat rate so after hearing this was my 1'st time to the area, he stopped at all the lookouts for me, even slid by a RBC ATM... He dropped me at Jackson-Triggs winery and the tasting began... Janet and I got to talking, she is very knowledgeable 'bout wine, she wouldn't take any money for the 4 I tried, very nice young lady...
After, walked into town, a longer ways than I expected... Was led to believe the wineries were closer together than they are and since the skies were ominous, thought I would get in out of any moisture that might happen...
What a beautiful, picturesque town! Again, the flowers just amazed me, have noticed lots of Boston Ferns, both on veranda's and inside...
Meandered along the street, having a lovely lunch, poked in the shops, spending the whole afternoon there... Traveled back the same route, along Niagara Pkwy, very scenic! In town went to, what the natives call the Las Vegas area, viewing both the CDN and us falls, boy, the corps have sure capitalized on that, even a humungous casino...
After a bite to eat, ventured back to the b & b, David even allowed me to do a load of laundry, bless his heart! I probably blogged while doing laundry, then to bed...
I think my transp. has arr'd so, later dudes, ha!
'til next one...
