    Does that mean she'll miss New York or that maybe she'll come around later?

    We asked who was next and whether she was finished in the NE...

    If Red hasn't already sent her my way, you're welcome to show Maidei around NY (and introduce her to any other New Yorker TE'rs) first. Send her a PM.

    I haven't sent her yet. If anyone closer to RI than wnyrider wants her, let me know today. Otherwise, she's going to Western NY! She's all packed and ready to ride.

    Sheeeee's here! I was actually loading up my bike for a ride when the postal lady came by. As soon as I spotted the box and peeked at the RI listed on the return address I knew it was Maidei. Quickly I ran back in the house, grabbed my camera, put the handlebar bag on my handlebars and off we went! Being with Maidei was loads of fun. We rode to Fort Niagara. Upon entering the park we spent a brief solemn moment at the cemetary as we paid our respects. We didn't go into the fort as I didn't think to bring money or a bike lock. Luckily the grounds are beautiful and plenty of places for Maidei to romp. This was a fun afternoon. We are looking forward to tomorrow's adventure.

    Beautiful photos, wnyrider. I thought for a moment that Maidei might get shot out of that canon, that'd be an experience she'd never forget.

    How nice! And what beautiful photographs!

    Oh how she must've enjoyed New York

    The weather turned cold and that alone we could deal with, but oh the wind! It was too punishing to enjoy riding on the bike. It was dark and we even had hail.

    So we had a busy couple of days taking care of business. Maidei learned what "sandwich generation" means.

    We were able to get out and take part in a little tourist activity, such as visiting our local Niagara Falls Aquarium.

    It was funny to watch how many of the sea creatures were interested in Maidei. There would try to get to her through the glass. [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
    I won't bore you with any more photos. And, I will let you know that the great white shark was not real. They have real sharks, but the light reflected too sharply off the glass to appreciate the shots. Well, Maidei's visit is wrapping up. OakLeaf said she was busy through this w/e, so probably Monday or Tuesday she will be on her way to Ohio. No one else close to me for a hand off responded. USPS it will be! I'll post more pics with the grand Niagara Falls next.

    Very nice pics of Maidei at the aquarium. When I saw her with the Great White, I immediately thought of Jaws ... daaa dum daaa dum daaa dum.
