Day 11 - The Grand Canyon of the East and Endicott

We drove from Buffalo to Endicott today. (You can click the map below for a bigger version.)


Today we visited Lechtworth State Park and saw the grand canyon of the east.



I pointed out a circling hawk and the girls commented that they could see a lot of those at home in Thailand. We soon got into the swing of things and took a lot more pics of some very nice views.





We also had an invigorating jaunt up and down the 157 steps to the lower falls viewing area.

We arrived at my home in Endicott at about 8pm, and from that point on it was all Su, Gigg and Patrick. Patrick may have given and gotten more kisses in the next hour or so then he has had in the last 6 months. Some have speculated that guys wearing Texas Longhorn t-shirts get lots of kisses, and this seems to be true.


They also finally got to meet mom


Sharon


and Terry.


Gigg immediately observed that Terry looked exactly like a movie star (and with the help of the internet we determined that to be Mark Ruffalo).


Further coincidences reveal themselves, and it becomes confusing to determine where Mark Ruffalo stops and where Terry begins. For instance, Terry is currently finishing up his law degree at the University of Buffalo. Hmmmm, could that rhyming be coincidence? And Mark Ruffalo is often intoxicated by midday on his favorite adult beverage - Guinness. Terry's last name? McGuinness! Even more interesting is that they each get five o'clock shadow at about 10am. Here is a photo of Terry just before lunch one day. Oh wait, maybe this is Mark Ruffalo? Who can tell?!


You can see more photos of this handsome hunk and try to figure out which are Terry and which are Mark by clicking here.
