Finally. Buffalo, New York. I have been wanting to go here for the past several years to see a Buffalo Bills football game and to experience Niagara Falls. Western New York is a beautiful place were the sky is so close you feel as though you can just reach out and touch the clouds.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/9cbf7-fav2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392241482854372594\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/9cbf7-fav2.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/c8c98-fav3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392241478112202178\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/c8c98-fav3.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/7b6e6-fav.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392241469110576258\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/7b6e6-fav.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">I drove from Buffalo, NY, and across the Rainbow Bridge to Canada as I had heard that the Falls were best viewed from the Canadian side.
