More Niagara

We spent another day in Canada side of Niagara. We met a cool artist named Frank Kim. He is a Canadian Indian who sculpts totum poles and different figures out of tree stumps. He has been commissioned by the Niagara's historial society to sculpt the famous soldiers from the War of 1812. He has also done quite a few different cartoon carictures. It made for a great afternoon walk.


Here are some other interesting photos from around town.


Evil Kenevil museum, which I am sorry we had to miss because it was closed.

This is a grave of one of the guys that went over the falls in a barrel. He actually went twice and lived both times. He died at the Houston Astro Dome. He was attempting a stunt that required him to jump in a barrel of water. He broke his neck and died on the spot.

Never seen totem poles that look like that. Interesting! Beautiful places too.

The guy makes it over the falls twice and then breaks his neck doing a clown trick? Poor fella...

All is well around the homestead.....except the ductape came off the left chute on the pinball machine. Mike's gotta let me know how to fix it so that I can resume my quest!
