Here's a decent up close shot of the Canadian falls...

Jessica and David and I, still squinting because of the mist.

Here's the Maid of the Mist close to the falls. It was neat to see it struggle against the current.

We got to go down to the bottom of the falls...but we had to be prepared!

Jessica and Lukas in the tunnels.

Here you can sorta see water coming in the tunnel. Exciting!

Out of the tunnel, we could see the Canadian falls. Very very misty, though.

Between the mist and the fact that the camera was in a protective Wegman's plastic bag, most of the pictures looked a lot like this. Oh well. It was a nice sight.

On the way back to the US of A we saw this neat building - the colors in the grooves changed!

Sunday after church we went out to brunch at a local diner-like place. It was tasty!

Then Jessica showed us around the department. Here she is next to her name on a plaque! (for the James D. McGill Memorial Prize she won as an undergraduate)

Did you know the author of the Pledge of Allegiance attended the University of Rochester? I did not! Here's a plaque commemorating Francis Bellamy.

Later on Sunday we went to the Strong National Museum of Play, which was really cool. In the Field of Play there were lots of random things to...um, play with. Play!

I never knew play was so scientific!

David proudly shows off his solution for balancing all the weights. (it was tricky!)
