Yesterday we went to Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Butterfly Conservency and drove along the Canadian side of the gorge. The town is located where the river empties into Lake Ontario. It is a beautiful place with many flowers, shops and restuarants. We ate at the Irish Harp and walked through many of the stores. Living in a motor home does not really lend itself to buying souviners but we enjoyed looking. I did find a book by Farley Mowat a Canadian author whose older books are hard to find in the US. The Butterfly Conservancy and Botanical Gardens were great. The couple of butterfly pictures don't do it justice. They were all over, landing on people, feeding and just flying around. If you are ever in Niagara we highly recommend you stop. While the garden's flowers were mostly past their prime the landscaping was fabulous. There must have been at least a half dozen wedding parties taking pictures. They were standing in line to get the best spots. It was pouring rain when we got to the falls so we plan to go back another day.
