Leaving Toronto, Karin drove us in her new Nissan Rogue Sport next to Niagara Falls, where we had a room reseved at the Comfort Inn.

Skylon Tower    ↑   ↓   → 

Much shorter than the CN Tower in Toronto, but with a more spectacular view.

   The meal was pricey, but excellent. Plus they allowed that we might linger over our meal, enjoying the view. I propped up my Galaxy S7 Android phone to record a half-hour long, 360-degree, rotating view. Afterward, we went out onto the viewing deck.

2. Glass-Blowing Artist     ←   ↑   → 

   Angelo Rossi has a glass-blowing studio at the bottom of the Skylon Tower. He is link to his web page:  html 
   After making our Skylon Tower dinner reservations, we passed by Rossi's studio and I stepped in. There was no one around, so I took these photos of his work set on shelves.
   The photo showing the artist himself was actually taken later, as we left after dinner. A tour was already in progress, though, and we didn't wait.

For the last day of this trip before going home, we swing up to spend an overnight at the same resort hotel where we had spent the final night of our honeymoon. Not so fine weather as then, but we enjoyed it just the same, this time taking opportunity to explore a bit in town.
