Day 3 in Niagara County



I had to indulge in the same great continental breakfast at the Barton Hill Hotel. Oh yes...there is always an egg dish as well. Eggs, chocolate milk, and pastries. Now, we're off to Old Fort Niagara to learn about the history of our war with the French. Looks like Judy and Wayne Bayliff are having a tough time lifting the barrels.

Barton Hill Hotel



Just thought I'd throw in a few photos taken inside the Barton Hill Hotel. One is of some kids playing in the lobby. The other is of our wonderful tourism host, Kate Scaglione with me and "Jeeves".

Niagara Falls Goes On




Now that you've seen a photo view from my window I want to show a photo of the statues seen near the water's edge as well as an explanation. The artist who did this is the same artist that constructed "Jeeves" in the lobby.

Checking into the Hotel




It's time to check into the Barton Hill Hotel located in Lewiston. Rooms are quite large with a bathroom that has a whole bunch of cubby holes for your toiletries as well as clothing, if you want. There is an armoire and night stands with drawers but no closets. I think they are looking to appeal to the gay community as the hotel with no closets. Entrance to room had a triple hook to hang you outer wear. Great idea. Only down side was the armoire not long enough for pants or dresses to hang properly. Oh, yeah...most interesting is the air conditioning system above the television. Not the usual kind. You use a remote to control temperature, heat, fan, etc. They hotel has a spa located in a building across the street. Too busy to get to the spa, thought. First shot is of owner Diane Finkbeiner and John Haily of Vino Amore! We did a wine tasting. However, I was introduced to this most fabulous chocolate milk from a farm called Hoover...I think. Passed up much of the wine for the milk. Creamy and almost pudding-like. Next photo is of our greeter with Esther. The last is a view of from my room.
