cleveland rocks and niagara fallsCleveland turned out to be a rather interesting city. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame kept us entertained for almost four hours, and if we'd listened to as much as we would have liked we could have spent several hours more. My favorite bit? Seeing Tom Petty's Mad Hatter hat from Don't Come Around Here No More.
I always wanted that hat.
Spent the night in Cleveland at a wonderful Bed & Breakfast called The Stone Gables. We didn't think to even look at B&Bs until Wisconsin, figuring they'd be too pricey. Turns out that the off season prices make them just as affordable as the hotel/motels of the area...and much nicer to stay in.
Yesterday saw us driving up to Canada to see Niagara Falls from the good side. G's never been to Canada or the Falls, so I was very happy that we had good weather. Found another fantastic B&B called Absolute Elegance. Again, a wonderfully restored place from the 1800's. Had a wonderful meal and drinks on a terrace overlooking the falls. As it got darker, we saw them illuminated in white spot lights and then a bit later in shifting colors. We had an excellent vantage point which allowed us to see both the American and Canadian falls. Front row seats as it were. Niagara Falls, the city, is a bit of a cheeze fest, but we enjoy that sort of thing so it was all good.
Today we're on our way to Massachusetts. Will decide en route whether to spend one last night in the Berkshires or to push on all the way to Weymouth.
