The Cave of the Winds attraction at Niagara Falls. Don’t let the name fool you. There is no cave. The attraction is a walkway that takes you under one of the falls.<\/p>\n

The next major city on our route is Chicago, so we decided to take a short cut through Canada. We crossed over the border to find that Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada has quite a few themed buildings. It kind of reminds us of a less glitzy Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Friday, May 7 — Day 14: Sarnia, Ontario, Canada to Chicago, Illinois, USA<\/em><\/p>\n

First thing in the morning, we crossed the border back into the US. Trying to get into the US with a trunk full of fuel containers is not the smartest thing we’ve ever done. We’re sure you’ll be amused when we post the full story. Anyway, we only made a couple stops between the border and Chicago.<\/p>\n

The Chocolate Garden in Coloma, Michigan<\/p>\n

We arrived in the mid-afternoon and checked into a Best Western downtown. In the evening, we did a presentation on our around the world journey at the Burnham Yacht Club, located on an island just off downtown. This is the view from the yacht club.<\/p>\n
