LIVE!! FROM NEW YORK, IT"S,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,joyce & ernie

Today (Saturday), finds us in New York. We are about 25 miles from Niagara Falls. Tomorrow we will go over to the falls to check it out. Upstate New York isn't what I had expected. It;s very green with rolling hills. Much like the hill country in Texas. We drove through the "Amish Trail" along the way, and saw several of the buggy's on the road. Some of the houses are from the early 1800's, if not from the late 1700's. We could easily spend a few days here, but not this time, as we are scheduled to be in Maine on the 18th.
Yesterday we were in Cleveland where we spent the day at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. We could have spent a second day here to take it all in. Cleveland was a pleasant surprise. We did not see any graffiti anywhere. Yesterday was also the first day that we've seen rain since we left home.

At The Henry Ford Museum

The Lincoln JFK was riding in on Nov, 22nd 1963

Us again. At The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame

Thursday we spent the day at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. It is a really well done museum that was started by Henry Ford in 1929. It documents the history of the Airplane, and the Train, as well as the car. All makes and models of cars were represented. The cover of the museum brochure had a Desoto on it. The young lady at the desk had never heard of Desoto, and assumed that it was a Ford model. There was also lots of machinery from the 1800's and early 1900's. I had never seen steam engines of that size. Hard to believe that someone had the ability to build them back then. They'd never be able to today.  Monday will find us on the last leg of the Journey to the Atlantic Ocean in Maine. We should be there on Wednesday. We're all looking forward to Lobster!
