Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

Picture of the day

It was a great day for a helicopter flight so that is just what we started with.  Several years ago when we were here we did the "Maid of the Mist" boat ride but didn't feel like getting wet this time.  We thought about the "cave of the winds" tour but that was walking up and down on many steps plus wearing a yellow raincoat with assurance that you will get wet.  See one of our pictures of other folks enjoying that experience that we chose not to explore.  Instead we booked a helicopter flight and it was super nice even if it was only a 20 minute flight.  After that we drove into the Falls Park at street level and it was a mad house of people and traffic jams.  Parking lots were full but advertised $10 per day to park so I stopped into a "Best Western" motel lot (I think this is the motel under a different name that we stayed in that previous trip) and Jo didn't feel like walking down the many blocks to get the street view picture so she stayed with the truck.  There were many, many tourists milling around and walking the streets so I guess their season has started.

We don't have anything planned for tomorrow except for a dinner show tomorrow night.  We have reservations for the "Oh Canada Eh? Dinner Theater" and it is within walking distance from our camp site.


Having a great time, wish you were here.
