Today was a travel day but one that still had time to see some sights. My generous brother of mine offered to drive us to Buffalo
and fly from there. On the trip down, Joe stopped in Niagara Falls. He said we couldn't go see the falls without a trip on the maid of the mist and I'm glad we listened to him. The falls were unbelievable! Only pictures can describe the sheer height and power of the falls. We would've been soaked if not for our fashionable blue raincoats. 
Our next stop was Buffalo, home of the "Buffalo Wing". So why not go to the restaurant that invented them. The Anchor was the name and making wings was there game for over 100 years... beat that Col. Saunders. The wings were huge! Simply a great end to our visit with Joe and the family and our beginning to the remainder of our trip. Thanks Joe!
We arrived on time at the airport and so did our plane but the airport at LGA wouldn't let us leave Buffalo. When we got into LGA (New York), we knew why. They had about 10 planes on the runway ready to leave all lined up. Apparently that happens alot. We were delayed by about 1 hour because of that.
We checked into our apartment and got settled and then headed to the streets for some shopping and browsing. The apartment is located in Chinatown. The streets are fairly dirty as garbage pickup is not a regular thing here. We waled around to get familiar with the area. We managed to find ourselves in Little Italy at night. Really cool. All the restaurants are lit up and more than half the people are dining on the sidewalks. Nice restaurants with good prices too (free bottle of wine with 3 people). Chelsea and I both bought some sunglasses. We are realizing you can barter for items and Chelsea is pretty good at it too.
Early night tonight as we were tired from the traveling. Yankees game and a few special sites tomorrow...
