was designed by the same architect who designed Central Park. I saw the stage where they have the
Shakespeare Festival, which plays are free to the public during the summer evenings. In the afternoon, I drove
around the city. I saw the house were Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated his first time, after the assassination
of President McKinley in September of 1901. I drove by Buffalo’s City Hall, which was done in a Art Deco
design. Outside this historic building was an example of the Art on Wheels exhibit. Automobiles can be found
throughout the City with various themes painted upon them.
Maiden of the Mist boat tour was cancelled due to the low water level in the Niagra River. More water than
usual was being diverted from the river to support the extra energy that needed to be produced to counteract the
electricity outage in the Northeast. But, I did have a great time anyway. I walked to Prospect Point by the
American Falls and onto the Observation Deck where I got some very beautiful views of the Falls. From there I
walked across the Pedestrian Bridge to Goat Island, which sits in the middle of the Niagra Falls. From the edge
of Goat Island, including the Horseshoe Falls, is Canada. I got an up close and spectacular view of the
Horseshoe Falls from Terrapin Piont.
