Ed and Idamae Hauf returned recently from an 18-day N.E. Fall Foliage bus tour. They toured many historic landmarks and the Capitol in Washington, D.C. It was especially inspiring to visit the war memorials there.

In New York City, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty were very impressive. It was exciting to view the amazing Niagara Falls from both the American and the Canadian side.

The autumn colors of red, orange and gold were most beautiful in Vermont and up-state New York.
