We survived our very "cosy" room at the Star Inn in Niagara Falls. It was raining pretty steadily so we decided to do only drive-by letterbox finds. No hikes in the rain for us.
While I was packing up our stuff, Hal found a nearby Tim Hortons and brought back coffee and oatmeal. And off we went.
Our first stop was a $ store where we purchased umbrellas and a plastic make up bag to keep our log book dry. Our second stop was to find War of 1812 Series: Battle of Queenston Heights in Queenston ON.
We were enticed into the Mackenzie Printery for several reasons. We would be dry. There were lots of mechanical things for Hal. Anything history always makes me happy. The museum contained the story of William Lyon Mackenzie and 500 years of printing history. The tours are guided by very knowledgeable staff and we actually set print, printed a poster and made bookmarks on various pieces of equipment.
Time to head north to Niagara-on-the-Lake ON. We found Adinkra Symbols: Good Fortune but Sweet Treat is definitely gone.
However, Sweet Treat did lead us to an incredibly interesting British pub where we enjoyed lunch. The tables are all wood tops with Singer sewing machine bases. The "decor" is hewed wood supports and lots of swirled plaster. Called the Olde Angel Inn, the food was quick, hot and delicious. I ordered bangers and mash and Hal ordered the shepherds pie. I think any good English person would have turned over in their grave to see the way they made tea though . . . absolutely blasphemous. Tin pot, warm water and a Red Rose tea bag. Calamitous!
And we were off again . . . to Burlington ON . . . where we picked up Siste, Viator: Halton Hills Memorial Gardens and Siste, Viator: Greenwood Cemetery.
And then we headed home.
