Today we had a rest day in Niagara Falls and Mark's and my paths diverged: Mark rode up to Niagara-on-the-Lake... yes, that's a 30 mile ride on his rest day! On his trip, he saw a botanical garden, a vineyard, the oldest printing press in Canada and a monument to the British hero of the War of 1812, Sir Isaac Brock, who is credited with defeating the Americans at Fort Mackinac and Detroit.
I, on the other hand, went to the laundromat, the pharmacy, the grocery store, a Filipino market and an indoor aviary :-)
Here are Mark's pictures... of a hydro-electric plant and this great view of the horseshoe falls:
It turns out Mark's wife, Ditte, is the great great great great great granddaughter of Sir Isaac Brock's grandparents...
Mark is a complete nerd when it comes to printing, since he was once a printer himself:

And here are mine... I'll let you judge who is more highbrow... :-)
The laundromat...
The aviary...
All are interesting, even the birds :-). Meanwhile in the ordinary world, Celtics won 🏀⛹️. Heat wave will dominate in next few days, stay cool :-)
Love the horseshoe falls, they look like they're steaming
Omg that soup broth looks really good. The Niagara Falls postcard reminds me of the Baltimore card you came up with. Also my favorite bird is the white one sticking its neck out -Nof
