The Hall of Fame was once again really well done - the Americans have a great way with museums! A huge tribute to Elvis of course, but the early roots of blues music, the British influence etc. was all given its place. Kath's favourite section was a display of Herb Ritts photographs of celebrities, including Prince, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Madonna et al.
The Hall of Fame's interpretation of the song "Another Brick in the Wall". For those who remember it...We drove into Canada to see Niagara Falls, border checks including questions about whether we were carrying firearms or contraband!! (As if we would!!). Although the weather wasn't brilliant, the falls are stunning, the sheer force of the water causes a mist to rise above the level of the dreadful high-rise casinos and theme park attractions that face onto the falls.
On through the Adirondacks in New York state with beautiful lakes and autumn colours, altogether a lovely drive. 
From Plattsburgh, NY we took the ferry across to Vermont, plenty more autumn colours to be seen. We stopped in Richmond, VT where there is a round church, built in 1812 by 17 families and now used as the town meeting hall. Moving on we reached Sqwam Lake which was used in the film "On Golden Pond" and then to Lake Winnipesaukee to a strange "Bates" motel with no staff! Other inmates let us in.Obviously we survived the night and drove on towards Boston, sadly failing to find a parking place in Cambridge so that we could visit Harvard University. We had to content ourselves with looking at the buildings from the car. We had our lunch with a local artist outside a Whole Foods supermarket - you certainly meet interesting natives this trip.
Staying on Cape Cod currently and drove to Providencetown at the far tip of the island where we spent some time walking around the harbour and the little town. Very arty but also very touristy.
