The Empire Strikes

Two and a half years ago we ran down the concourse at the Sydney International Airport because we were about to miss our flight to Canberra.  That was the first day we met each other, and there was an immediate bond between Nina and I.  We spent four weeks in Australia and a week in Fiji having adventure after adventure!
Then we went two and a half years without seeing each other, and I missed her!  So when her boyfriend called to say I should come out and visit in New York, I immediately said yes!  So this past weekend I flew to western New York: Thursday to Monday.

Day 1: Rochester, RIT (where Nina went to school), Fingerlakes District and Silver Linings Playbook
Day 2: Slept in, grocery shopping and lunch, then a jewelry party at Nina's with some friends & family
Day 3: Niagara Falls and Buffalo, including the original home of buffalo wings
Day 4: Palmyra and Hill Cumorah and then saying goodbye :(

 Garbage Plate of Man vs. Food--so much better than it looks and sounds!
 Freezing cold at Niagara Falls!
