Oct 23 - Niagara Falls





















We drove into the heart of Niagara Falls., seeing the falls from the top side. One can sure see the elements of fun here with 2 Casinos, the Wax Museum, Ripleys Believe It or Not, Marineland, ferris wheel, a multitude of bars, bistros, street cafes, hotels and 2 towers, thus explaining the 11 million visitors each year. Two bridges connect over the river to Niagara Falls, NY.We took the trip aboard the Maid of the Mist up to the base of the Horseshoe Falls (in the rain, wearing throw-away ponchos, and still got wet from the mist of the falls).












We went to the top of the Skylon Tower for the afternoon view, a wonderful prime rib/chocolate mousse dinner, and the view after dark. We were disappointed that for some unexplained reason, the lights on the falls never did come on, but the city lights below were enjoyable from 525+ feet above.
