After the aviary we took a walk with the intention of seeing Simcoe St<\/a> and then heading out to a brewery I found on one of the tourist maps I picked up.<\/p>\n

As we turned onto Simcoe St I saw a black squirrel. I knew about black squirrels<\/a> but what I didn’t know was that in Canada black squirrels and black cats get along…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

OK, so that’s a bit tongue in cheek, but it was funny to see the squirrel, panic about the cat coming toward it, and then watch it walk right past it without a second thought. Huh, guess he wasn’t hungry.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately I neglected to inspect the scale<\/i> on the map and felt quite foolish when I realized how far we had to walk to get to the brewery. And even more foolish when we arrived at the closed<\/i> brewery! Ack! The address was right, but the building was closed up, apparently that map I picked up was a bit dated. We got a nice walk out of it though, and got to see some amusing Inns on the way, like this one:<\/p>\n

Since the brewery was a bust, we walked back toward the main touristy area of Niagara Falls and found a pizzeria to eat at. The beer list was unimpressive, so I just went with a Labatt Blue (Ew? But I was in Canada!)<\/p>\n

After food we went walking toward the main “strip” of Niagara Falls, the tourist district full of campy museums of all kinds, haunted houses, mini golf, ice cream, souvenir shops – and I loved all of it. But first it was down to see the falls!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

And then, being me, I had to get some fudge and go to one of the campy wax museums – hurrah!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

By the time we left the wax museum we were pretty tired. We got some ice cream on the way back to the B&B and then crashed for the night. Plans for the next day? Maid of the Myst! Dinner in Skylon Tower!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
