Today we took off to grab some lunch (we actually went to Wegmans and I’ll have to tell that story tomorrow, in Haiku form), then we went down to the Marina in Buffalo to enjoy a walk on the waterfront. On the spur-of-the-moment we purchased tickets for the Miss Buffalo II, and set off on and hour-and-a-half tour of the Niagara River. It was too windy/choppy for us to go past the locks, but it was a great day. A great day!

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It’s always our self we find in the sea.
