Ellicottville, NY - Niagara Falls, NY

Reported by Todorka Petrovska 35.0 mi

Good morning runners! Nature greeted us with a beautiful sunrise.

Easy mornings look like this. Our host Annie gave us some vegetables from her garden and a special opportunity to meet her horses!

Curiously checking who the visitors are.

Our  Indonesian member gets to touch these beautiful creatures for the first time. And they were so gentle to let her feed them. Yummy carrots...

Just before we left the Annie's place, her wonderful grandchildren Elsie and Lena had a chance to put their sincere wishes for peace into our torch. It seems like we have our future members..

Cute bouquet from our host's garden. Thank you Annie!!!

Many thanks to journalist Max Borsuk from the Springville journal for coming out to meet with our team this morning.

As we entered Orchard Park we stopped by to have a chat with these lovely gardeners and admire their beautiful flower garden.

Running through the streets of Buffalo we bumped into a Boys & Girls club doing a day trip. They were very delighted to meet the Peace Run and hold the torch.

Buffalo here we are!

A few more miles to the stunning nature of Niagara falls. Let’s go  girls!

Many passersby were inspired to hold the torch.

Running alongside Niagara River was such a fulfilling experience, and entering into it just to check how the water is was fun!

As soon as we approached the falls, the Canadian runners  gave us a warm welcome. We are grateful to Purnakama and Karnayati from Canada driving over especially from Toronto to show their support.

The Canadian Falls are far right.

The Rainbow Bridge between Canada and the United States

Perfect finish of the day. A small farewell party for two wonderful team mebers, Suhasini and Anya, who are sadly leaving, and welcome to two new runners!
