We had another great breakfast this morning at the Best Western with a private room, cloth napkins and table cloths. Plenty of fruit to go along with the standard ABB breakfast, even had omelets to order, but I didn't waste time standing in line for one. Breakfast was at 6:30 and luggage load at 7:00, so you didn't want to get in our way. We were all decked out in our Red-White-Blue jerseys for a return to the USA at Niagara Falls. We left early to allow for plenty of time to sight see on the Canadian side, for those who didn't relish going through customs a couple extra times on our day off on Monday. We had a single SAG Stop and a couple alumni riders from a previous trip brought Canadian "Butter Tarts" which bear a close resemblance to Peggy's Aunt Hazels Pecan Tarts. They also brought a huge fruit tray. I rode 90% of the day with John Nixon, one of many Texans on the trip. We took some pictures on the Canadian side before crossing the Rainbow Bridge and going through US Customs. We were waived into the "Express Lane" where NEXUS Card holders are normally processed and got through without any hassles. We are staying about three blocks from the bridge at the Quality Inn. Tonights dinner was supposed to be at Denny's, but many of us opted to use the Denny's gift card for breakfast tomorrow on our day off and head elsewhere tonight. My group tried an Italian restaurant, but it was booked solid, so we walked back past the hotel to the Hard Rock Cafe. I am not in bed yet because directly across the street a RAP Concert featuring Gucci Mane is still blasting a base beat. I plan to do the full tourist thing on Monday, the Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, Adventure Theater, and even Fort Niagara. Check back for a full report.
