It took me hours to convince myself to go, but I finally got in my car and drove to Niagara Falls, along the 324 and not the 190. The bridges charge tolls and I'm not set up for those to be charged to a credit card so they're a higher cost and I'm not paying that. Besides, River Road is more interesting.
The day was quite pleasant. 75 degrees with a nice breeze. Of course, there just had to be an event happening near the Rainbow Bridge to the Canadian side, meaning no parking available that wasn't $25 and up. So I drove onto Goat Island and went to that lot and visited the Canadian Falls.
I toyed with the idea of driving across to Canada for dinner, but then remembered it's a holiday weekend and a look at the bridge told me that would take forever, both ways. So I walked around. Looked at all the Indian and Chinese tourists and managed to clear my head, some.
I think I know what the cover's going to be, now. I need to play with it some, to make sure, but a house I saw on the drive that's for sale made the suggestion -- a low angle on Brendan, head and shoulders, the three levels of Aunt Mari's house behind him in a vaguely threatening manner. Dunno if I can pull that off, but I'll work on it, tomorrow.
All the walking and the sun wore me out, but it was good to do.
