We left Sandusky only 20 minutes behind schedule and a little grumpy after our long day yesterday. A little over an hour later, we arrived at the Kirtland Temple in Kirtland, OH. We enjoyed the tour of the temple. The guide did a good job with the history of the place and we had a interesting conversation in the van afterwards about why it isn't like current temples. (It was a preparatory temple where the keys were received for the ordinances in current temples.)
We then drove the three hours to Niagara Falls. It was the first time, that I can remember, visiting the falls from the American side. We rode on the Maid of the Mist and really enjoyed being right up close to the falls. It was a beautiful day and we got great views. A couple of us also hiked close to the falls, where the blowing mist was as heavy as summer cloud burst.
As we headed to our hotel, we stopped at Red Lobster to have a nice dinner. It was nice.
We are running out of clean clothes faster than expected. We went looking for a laundromat tonight, but could find one open. We will try again in NYC tomorrow night.
We are now resting in Farmington, NY to be ready for Palmyra and then NYC tomorrow.
