Are We In A War Zone?

Short ride today. Only 20 miles, and I decided to make it a workout. Nothing really eventful happened because it was so short but the last 2 miles of road had half of the road torn up for construction. We decided it looked like a war zone.

The church tonight is not in the best of neighborhoods. Lots of plywood windows in buildings and the building across from us has bullet holes through the window. Needless to say I haven't gone anywhere alone and will not be leaving the church after dark.

After taking cold showers at the Y we went over to Niagra Falls and canada. It was like a 45 min walk but so worth it.



I'm standing on rainbow bridge here walking over to Canada. We did the maid of the mist and I felt like I was in another world. The falls are incredible and they are in the shape of a horseshoe so you are completely surrounded at one point on the boat ride. It was a little scary too.

Walked back and had to pay a 50 cent toll to get back into the US. Really? I have to pay to come back into America??? Walked back the 45 min and my legs are shot. Oh well, still worth it!
