Almost half way thru June

Took a few days off the grind and travelled to Niagara Falls Canada. Of course sort of a busman's holiday as I stopped at 2 large antique malls on the way over, 2 on the way back and drove around the countryside tracking down the independents. Best mall this trip-- Memory Lane on Hyde Park road in London and the one off 401 at the Tilbury exit. This was my second trip that direction and 2nd stop at Southworks in Cambridge. I was disappointed at this stop. It was too much the same --tea cups and saucers, corning ware, drinking glasses from the 70's on of the collectible characters. But it is large and best of all Mapquest gave me a better way to get to it without driving through downtown!
What a change in the land use going down the QEW. What once was fruit farms and orchards is now all vineyards. One could be on a perpetual buzz tooling down the side roads. With the exchange rate near par nothing is a bargain for the US traveller.
Yes, the Falls are still there but one can't park along the street anymore, you have to pay $12 to park in the the large lot down by table rock. The Botanical gardens are a treat and best of all the butterfly conservatory is an experience not to be missed.
Now that gas prices have come down to $2.99 a gallon more people will take to the road and visit all he antique shops and malls around, then my monthly sales will be profitable!
