Day Three

So today we start outside the Hilton Hotel - we drove down and parked and walked along the River and then the Falls.  It is quite an amazing site.  That water is so powerful in fact, AJ's comment was it made him dizzy looking at it.  We then drove across the Rainbow Bridge, where you had to stop and show your passport getting back into the United States (cause the night before Canada didn't care) but he didn't even stamp my passport. We then drove for awhile and stopped to eat (because we never had breakfast) at a Cheeburger.  The Shake was really good but the rest so/so and they of course never heard of fry sauce.  We continued on and finally was on a toll road, they don't have Rest Areas but they are called Service Areas, where they have a gas station, several eateries inside, rest rooms. And then you can continue on. We got into Palymra early afternoon and stopped at the Joseph Smith Farm. Saw the log home, the Frame Home and then walked through the Sacred Grove.  The Spirit was really strong there.  We then drove into Palymra and visited the Book of Mormon Publication Site.  Sister Pinegar gave us the tour and I asked if she was related to Ed Pinegar, she said that is my husband (I went to him back when I was at BYU.  He was a dentist and also taught Religion Classes at BYU which I took several of his classes.) SO I got to see him before we left.  We then visited the Martin Harris Farm. After that we checked into the Palmyra Inn and then went to the Hill Cumorah. We walked up the paved path and then down the dirt path on the other side.  It was very spectacular to be up there and see out as far as we could.  We were up there alone and sat and just took in all that has transpired over these few days.  In the evening we were able to go out to dinner with Bro. and Sis. Jones who have been assigned to the Temple Presidency here.  It was such a nice visit with them.
