Up at 4:30 AM, polished off my laundry by 5:15AM, early breakfast, cleaned the bike by 10:00AM. It's now 10:17 AM and I'm bored, but the tourist things hold no interest for me. Guess I'm really ready to dismount and stick a landing in Henrietta tomorrow.
I wandered around the falls with my dinner partners last night 'til about 10:30PM. While it was still light out we walked along the river, upstream from the falls and I was in awe of the power of the river.
After a cool and refreshing ice cream treat, we ambled on over to the falls. As dutiful tourists, we ooh'ed and ahh'ed at the lighted up falls and at the fireworks display, 
but a little of that goes an incredibly long way. Just prior to that I captured a photo of Mike releasing a helium balloon-his gift to the visitors at Niagara Falls- he's generous in that way. 
It's now after 8:00PM and bedtime is not far off. The day was a real bore and I'm really ready to blow this pop stand. Bring on the final verse- I'm ready to sing.
