7/16/2018 - Niagara Falls Tourism Extravaganza and Buffalo and back to Niagara

I mean...WOW!

It's misty.

It's still misty.

Can you tell? We made it to Buffalo!

Home of the wings!





(the wings)

We're at Coca-Cola Field to see the Buffalo Bisons (AAA for the Toronto Blue Jays) play the Norfolk Tides (AAA for the Baltimore Orioles).

Former Buffalo Mayor Jim Griffin throwing out the first pitch.

Wait. Stephanie remembers this guy! He used to be on her Cleveland Indians!

He must be from France.

Now THAT is a baseball legacy. He is Carl's grandson.

As this is Buffalo, there was a Bobbing for Wings competition. They were floating in blue cheese dressing. Evidently, this is a Buffalo tradition.

Celery Stalk officially forgave Stephanie for eating his/her cousins with the wings earlier.

The retired numbers. Stephanie looooved Jeff Manto, who did three stints with her Cleveland Indians.

Us, there! Please excuse Stephanie's hair. Remember how misty it was earlier today?

Got our stamp!

The Blue Cheese wins!

Oh, right. Hmm...

Bongo-Cam

This surprised us.

We went looking for food. Does "weck" qualify as food?

The closest picture we could get of Buster Bison.

Wait...NO! STOP!

Ugh

The tarp was definitely the low point of the game.

The completely illegible scoreboard at the point of the rain delay in the 7th inning. It turned out to be a 33 minute delay and the Bisons flattened the Tides by the score of 8 to 1. We did not stick around to witness it.

We went back to Niagara Falls to check out a local watering hole. You know, like a Bison might do.

They had a sculpture. We were told it was of a logger. He should stop punching that girl.

Again, Stephanie is quite taken with the Canadian language.

These were some very happy Canadians on dollar beer night (that's about 80 cents each in money).
