Spending the night in London

            It was a good start to the trip with a nice morning and a bit of sunshine along with a bit of fog. It is always an interesting exersize in planning these trips, getting just the right stuff and not too much of anything as there is limited space to pack. So to watching the weather is important as well as making sure that all of the maintenance is done on the bike. 
Since my route today took me through Niagara Falls and I had plenty of time, I parked and walked along the Canadian side to view the falls. It is  hard not to be impressed by the power and the beauty on display there. Since it is such an international attraction, it's also a great place to people watch. 
                                                       I always chuckle at the

boats below with their passengers all decked out in their blue bags to keep dry.
After the falls, it was a couple hours to my stop for the night, London, Ontario. Each time I have come to Milwaukee this has been my first stop. It's a nice little city with some good food and nice hotels. There are a bunch of English Pub themed places and tonight I decided to try one.
Looked great from the outside but jamblya on the menu should have been a clue. Anyway, the salad was great.
Tomorrow morning I'll meet up with Charlene and we will ride 350 miles or so to our next stop and where we meet Cherif.
