Wings and Water!




Hello Again. It's true we went to Buffalo, NY yesterday -- just to get Buffalo Wings. And, boyyy, it was worth it. The place every random stranger told us to go to was "Anchor Bar" - this was supposedly the origin of the true spicy Buffalo Wing. I believe it! It was a fun old place with pictures of every famous person ever who loved wings on the walls. Can you believe it? I actually had to order 'hotter' sauce! I think I'm finally getting used to this SPICY thing! Oh yeah.

Also, we were able to see both the Canada side and America side of Niagara Falls. Above are pictures from the Canada side. We were constantly discussing about which side is better.

Here's what we've come up with:
1) Very weird that Canada has actually outdone America with the amounts of CONSUMERISM on their side. The Canadian side looks like VEGAS -- I kid not. Ripley's Believe It or Not, wax museums, 3D movies, hotels with huge buffets, casinos, Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe, the list goes on and on... Parking is not free. We parked a mile away and walked so that we didn't have to pay an arm and a leg :)
2) The American side on the other hand is a nice park looking area. Just park your car and wander around. There are public bathrooms, green awning ice cream shoppes, and I think I only saw 1 restaurant.
3) Now, I guess when you visit you just have to pick your preference. But, if you have kids -- go to the American side!! I can only imagine how much it would cost to go to EVERY single adventure theme thing they have on the Canada side! :)

We are in Toronto, ON now. Last night was the first night we spent in the bed of the truck on our mattress. But that's a whole other story.... Must nap in our comfortable hotel room now. That's right, we're in a hotel tonight (hint, hint).
