Mic and I watched "The Bucket List" movie a few months ago. When the movie was done we talked about some things that were on our lists. One of them on mine was to see Niagara Falls.
This weekend Mic made that happen for me. It was beautiful and breath taking. Watching the water rushing over the falls and feeling that mist mezmorized me. I stood there for quite a while watching the water fall and swirl. There is a walk that over looks the falls that we walked twice. I really enjoyed seeing the many nationalities that were represented and listening to the variety of languages that were spoken. We were foreigners too,as we were on the Canadian side of the falls. The US side of the falls does not have as good a view,the Canadians definately got the better end of that deal.
We took the "Maid of the Mist" boat trip that takes you close to the falls. It was a great, but wet trip. They give everyone blue rain coats (that resemble dry cleaner bags) to wear during the trip. Thank goodness for the blue coats, you get wet when you get over by the falls. It's like a very heavy mist. I kept my hood off and faced the falls relishing the mist covering my face. The roar of the falls was an amazing sound and the power of the water is awe inspiring.
