Niagara Trip Highlights--Day 5

This was our view from the hotel as we prepared to leave Niagara and the Falls area. It was a beautiful sunrise coming up through the mist of the Falls!

It wasn't too long until we were
back in the US and headed south to Cleveland Ohio. We had to get off the bus to go through customs in the US--which we didn't have to do in Canada. It was pretty un-eventful both times, though.


 Our next attraction was the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. We had lunch there and toured the museum. From Elvis, to the Beatles--and lots more both past and present, we were able to see and hear about musicians, bands, producers, and others who have influenced the history of Rock & Roll. And the Hall of Fame is located on the shore of Lake Erie. There was a beautiful view of the lake!
Another item of interest was Johnny Cash's tour bus (J.C. Unit one) that was parked outside the museum. It was interesting to walk through it and see the furnishings of the time.


After leaving Cleveland, we headed to Wooster, Ohio to the
"Everything Rubbermaid" Store. There were four floors of shopping opportunities, so lots of us found things we thought we couldn't live without.

After Wooster came Millersburg, Ohio. Jonas and Edna, our Amish guides for the evening, joined us on the bus as we drove out to the country for dinner at an Amish home. The meal provided by Peggy Stutzman and her helpers was delicious! We learned about Amish customs in that area--which seemed to be a thriving community.                                      

 Everyone enjoyed the meal, and we even had a couple of other tourists join our group. Then it was back to the hotel.  Once again--no-one went to bed hungry!
