Niagara Falls



We took advantage of the weekend special and rented a car for shopping and a trip to Niagara Falls. The water is really flowing through this area and there's no turning it off. The highlight was a boat ride on Maid of the Mist from the American side. Everyone was wearing a blue plastic poncho to keep from getting drenched but we still got wet. The wind created from the falling water is amazing. It was like a hard rainstorm when we got close to the Horseshoe Falls. I wanted to shout to the boat captain that it was a dead end. The Maid of the Mist has been doing this tour since 1846 and it is certainly a "must do" when you come.




We also had a very good lunch in a restaurant on Goat Island overlooking Horseshoe Falls.
