Lake Ontario Trekkers Bike Along the Niagara River to the Falls

Today Teen Treks team Lake Ontario had a fantastic first day! The group met up in Front Park by the Peace Bridge in Buffalo and got to know each other by playing ice breaker games. Then we hit the road and crossed the bridge to Canada and rode up the Niagara Parkway towards Niagara Falls. We stopped for lunch and swimming in the river on our way. While looking for water we happened upon a lovely historical museum right before we got to Chippewa. The museum documented rural life in Ontario including muskets, a working old telephone switch board, and old bicycles including a penny-fathering! Back on the road again we were soon in for another wonderful surprise right across from the supermarket, we stopped at a lemonade stand. The proprietor of the stand, Gram, was a very good salesman and wanted to get a picture with the group. We ended up sharing our ice cream with him after we went food shopping. We rode on stopping at Niagara Falls briefly before heading over to the hostel to unpack. Kyle and Claire cooked a wonderful dinner of Buffalo Mac and Cheese! We then went to explore Clifton Hill briefly before heading back for bed. What a busy first day!
