Niagara Falls

Summer Vacay: Part 2
Being back East and within driving distance of Niagara Falls, we couldn't miss the opportunity to visit Canada and experience the wonder. While the drive was long (and became longer as we waited to cross the border), the wonder was worth it.
 Canada was fascinating. The city reminded us of a mix between Lagoon and Las Vegas, with all sorts of games, museums, and restaurants surrounding the falls. The atmosphere was fun, but nothing like I expected.
Then there were areas like this one, that felt much more foreign, and beautiful.


Then just a little further down the street was this view.
The Maid of the Mist was really neat and we got to get up close and personal with the falls. And who wouldn't want to wear one of those flashy blue ponchos?  The only downside was that they were pretty much good for nothing...
But what's Niagara Falls without getting a little wet?
