Niagara Falls, Canada

     Niagara Falls is an incredible natural waterfall that more than 6 million cubic ft. of water flows over the edge every minute. When we arrived at night all we could see of the falls was a rainbow of colored lights shining on them and lighting the rapid pace of the descending water. It was fabulous to see. Even from a distance aways, walking down the street we could feel the spray of the falls. It's torrent of power is just outstanding. We stayed at the Embassy Suites on the 51st floor out of 52. The view was remarkable. We could perfectly see the falls at any time of day, the sunrise with brilliant hews of orange and blue..

The falls never ceased to take our breath away regardless of the time of day. The complimentary breakfast served at the Keg offers beautiful views as well so you can marvel at the waterfall while you eat a nutritious breakfast!

      On our second day, we took a ride on the Hornblower and got up close and personal with the falls. The poncho they give you at the beginning is a sad excuse for water cover, you're gonna get drenched! But that's half the fun! When the boat goes right up in the downpour and you can hardly see because water is coming down all around you, it's a wonderfully wet experience!

     Besides the falls there are a few other cool things to check out. The Daredevil Museum is really cool to check out! It tells tales with good and bad outcomes of the men and women who braved the falls and it what such contraption they chose to do so. The first to go over was a 60 some year old female teacher who went over in a barrel, allegedly with a black cat. She's my new hero! That's very impressive to me, a lover of adrenaline! But I think she did it more in an attempt for fame and fortune.

    Clifton Hill is a very popular street boasting Ripleys Believe it or not, Guiness World Records, Mini golf, Wax museums, a few haunted houses and of course some souvenir shops. The exhibits on this street could keep one entertained for hours if you have the time.

     The main draw is definitely the natural beauty of the glorious waterfall, but you can only spend so much time looking at it and when you're done, there are plenty of other things to do around town and all within walking distance! We had a blast!
