Day 17: NY

Now off to Niagara Falls and then Palmyra, NY for the Hill Cumorah Pageant and to tour the Sacred Grove. Niagara Falls was amazing! The weather was humid so when we got close to the some falls the mist was a relief. We took the trolley around the park so help ease the hot. The tour of the Smith homes and buildings were once again amazing. This time the guides were serving two-week missions in comparison to the missionaries in Nauvoo.

The pageant was quite different from the Nauvoo Pageant—this one would be great to have friends come to see.

We were able to leave the parking lot at around 11 pm and Brian drove as far as he could until his pillow beckoned for him. So, we stayed in a Walmart parking lot because there was no other place to go so late at night.
