Mitchell, SD

We've been in Mitchell all week and going home tomorrow and haven't seen anything but the outside of the Corn Palace again.  We saw it the first time on the way to Huron, SD about a year and a half ago.

Corona Village the Mexican restaurant is very good, Rita says, we didn't get to go there. 

Rita says that the reason she hasn't taken us anywhere is because its been so windy here that she was afraid we'd get blown away.  There were also some bad thunderstorms a couple of nights and we hid in the closet.

Rita says she's been too busy to post the pictures she's been taking but maybe she'll have time over the holiday weekend - she's taking us camping.

Niagara Falls, NY

We found out last night that Rita was going to Niagara Falls for a couple of days for work.  We left early this morning on the ferry, going through Canada and arrived in New York about noon.  It was a gloomy day with rain off and on.  This evening there was a thunderstorm. 

Don't know if we'll have a chance to see much.  Not sure if we want to see the falls, Rita is threatening to drop us over in a tiny barrel.  She says it the traditional way to "see" the falls.  We are going to believe she's just kidding.
