Once Buck had been home for a few weeks he found himself growing
bored of watching t.v.
He was relieved and excited to hear the ambassador come home
and announce that he had concert tickets and they’d all be hopping into the car
and heading to Niagara Falls. Buck
loved geographic formations that had to do with water and he’d seen the horse shoe
falls on t.v. during the coverage of the Wallenda tight rope crossing. Daredevil
antics were a wonder to Buck and brought many questions to his
mind. Why would you want to spend your
life practising to walk a tight rope?
Why wouldn’t you just take the
rainbow bridge to cross the Niagara gorge?
There were just some things that didn’t make sense to Buck.
The car ride was long but the view was extremely rewarding.
You could even take a boat ride on the ‘Maid of the Mist’
which was a bit confusing at first because that’s how the lady jokingly referred
to herself as well. Buck found himself trying to distinguish
between which maid they were referring to in conversation, like when the ambassador said ”‘Oh
yeah, if you pay you can ride her and it
feels pretty dangerous” to an inquiring tourist and ‘She’s been in service a long
time, I think I was on her as a kid” to
the lady herself. Buck thought it best to just be quiet here.
After strolling along the walkway they rode the funicular to
the top of Clifton hill to take in the overall view and avoid having to waddle
up the hill.
Buck was careful to keep his body parts inside as instructed
by the signage. No daredevil antics for
him.
Although he was unsure of why you’d ever want to have your
body parts outside.
All in all it was a splendid day and Buck was impressed with
Niagara Falls and it’s majestic beauty.
