Worth visiting!

Untitled

This place is amazing! I was able to visit a few weeks ago, and it as well worth it… ‘Maid of the Mist’ (in picture) is clearly the biggest attraction, and a must see for all Niagara Falls goers. The boat ride that takes you right up to the American and more impressive Canadian falls… If you do go on this, RESIST the URGE to pull your camera out and take a picture during the VERY SHORT quiescent moments (most of the time it feels like its raining horizontally). I almost ruined my camera, and there were a couple on board who did.

I’ve also heard that one-half of the water is now diverted to hydroelectric power, providing enough power for NYC and Toronto… Does this seem right?!

And I agree...

Niagara Falls is spectacular. I haven’t been there since Grade 4, when my parents took us during summer vacation. I still remember the whole vacation clearly – in particular – being terrified of the Maid of the Mist. Thanks for reminding me what an awesome place it is.

haha. I could see how – at the age of 9 taking a boat up to a huge waterfall that essentially shrouds your view in mist – could be a bit scary..

Anyway, I’m excited about being so close to Canada, relatively speaking, and I’m thinking Prince Edward Island will be my next visit. I’ve heard the tides and scenery are spectacular!

PEI is great and I’m sure you’ll love it. There are loads of interesting things to do and it’s quite beautiful. Can’t wait to hear about your trip (and see your pics too).
