After gardening all morning and afternoon, we headed up to Fort Erie to cool off at Windmill Point. The weather was perfect for it (minus the swarms of bugs on the way back).

Riding over to Canada - the construction closed the one sidewalk, it was nice to see the view on the other side
(e:paul) wanted to stop and swim at this beach on the bike path. Until we walked down and smelled this water

This ultra modern house was being constructed in Ft. Erie. It has a cantilevered second floor jutting out towards the lake.

The water was a mix of warm and cold, but very clean.

Paul warming up

I think the best view of Buffalo is from Fort Erie. It looks so much more dense and tree-d than it actually is.
He did escape a couple years back - I think he knows about it. Paul found him a couple days back when someone from the pet store spotted him across Main St! (I think!) He knows the world and is quite evil.
The canoe has just been sitting on the lawn and he drags it around, but I think he's capable of just climbing over the cinder blocks and wood if he could figure it out.
so he can actually get to wherever the canoe is stored and get it out? amazing.
