My cousin Jaime from Fargo, North Dakota arrived in Buffalo on May 20 to spend some time with family before starting her new job as a laboratory research assistant. It was great to great to spend time with her; since she has always lived so far away, this was the first time I could actually get to know her.
Besides introducing her to my favorite friends, restaurants, and hang outs, my father and I decided that she absolutely had to see Niagara Falls, Canada. We took her on the Maid of the Mist and Journey Behind the Falls. We also went to Clifton Hill, Niagara on the Lake, and the Butterfly Conservatory. It was a busy day but we all had a great time.
As it is the spring, there were thousands of gulls nesting along the gorge walls and flying in and out of the mist. If my memory serves me, 20% of the world's population of Bonaparte Gulls visit this region during nesting season.

It was warm and humid in the conservatory; hence, my father fell asleep.

That's Research Specialist Apprentice, to you. ;)
...I don't know who dreams up those titles.
Anyway, I'm honored to be semi-featured on your illustrious blog. I'm thinking another visit to your area is in order. And soon. Maybe tomorrow.
