Coco may have already remarked upon this but many years ago Nessie emigrated and took a trip up the St Lawrence where she was spotted at the foot of Niagara Falls, on the northern side of course, not having a required green card. It was an exciting moment when she was spotted, even more so when perhaps her tail also appeared at the surface of the water.
