Canada- Niagara in a Nanosecond

The last place I took Rayhanah was, of course, Niagara Falls! It's the standard place to take visiting relatives, even if they don't want to go! And if no relatives visit during the summer, which is rare, the family must go anyways.. it's sort of like an annual visit.. Don't get me wrong though, I actually like Niagara.. There are some interesting places there.. besides the falls. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of pictures.. and just of the falls! But trust me, there's a lot more to this freakish city.

So.. the picture below is of the American side of the Falls.. All Canadians (I'm sure) agree that the Canadian side of the falls is much nicer! The boat in the picture is the Maid of the Mist.. it takes passengers right next to the falls.. its a great experience.. and it feels good getting all that mist in your face.. There are also caves behind the falls that people can walk through..



These are the Canadian or Horseshoe Falls.. I like hearing the water the most.. its kind of soothing.. Although, when I was a kid the falls really scared me.. I was afraid of all that power and always imagined myself falling into speeding current..



here's a closer look.. ok.. this is where I used to imagine falling in.. right before the edge!



A bunch of people have gone over these falls.. some by accident.. but many actually did it on purpose.. crazy daredevils!! Some have survived.. a small kid actually survived without any protection..



Apparently this is the honeymoon capital of the world. I'm trying to figure out why..







Here we are getting on the boat.. We got to wear these cool raincoat/poncho/spacesuit type things.. I should have kept mine.. it would have been handy in Amsterdam.





That's it! Didn't take any more pics for some reason.. Oh one good memory is that I parked at the Skylon parking lot for freee!! :) heheheh..
