I did the required "I'm in the USA, I'm in Canada. I'm in the USA, I'm in Canada" as I walked across the bridge over the Niagara River between the two counties.
It has finally cooled down from a horribly humid 35 degrees (Celsius), and rained instead. But it didn't matter because I was already soaked from Niagara Falls.
New York exceeded my expectations. Lots of tall buildings, lots of people, lots of yellow taxis, New York diners, and an extensive subway system. Some subway stations had 3 or more levels underground, and rickety trains. My one regret is I wasn't there long enough to do a tour of abandoned sections.
The morning I left New York for Buffalo, my alarm didn't work but luckily Dave woke up half an hour before the train left. In that time we managed to get changed, pack up, catch the subway and arrived just in time. I still can't believe we made it.

Off to Toronto tomorrow, then Montreal.
The picture is from the Empire State Building. The green patch in the background is Central Park, and my hostel was near the top, left corner of it.
