Niagra Falls ON

We left Tinley Park on Sunday Aug. 27th and arrived in Niagra Falls Ontario with time to view the falls before dark. Impressive and awesome!! See pics for a glimpse. No picture could do it justice. We ate dinner and then came back to the falls to view them with lights. Again, the pictures barely tell the story. Today we came to the American side and viewed the falls from every view possible despite the strong winds and rain. We went to Wind Cave, enjoyed the walk among the falls and at the base of the falls, then took in the "Daredevil Museum" where tales of the first person - a woman - went over the falls in a barrel in 1903 and lived. Incredible. We saw some of the barells, kayak, and jet skies that tried to make it. (the Kayak and jetski died).Then on to the Lady of the Mist, the boat ride that goes into the teeth of Horseshoe Falls. What a view! Everytime the sun would peak out, we'd see a rainbow. What a gift!! We ended the day with a look at the Erie Canal.
