Tuesday May 25, Day 76 - Niagara Falls - Canada

Saw the falls this morning, both the American falls, and Horseshoe/Canadian falls. It is pretty amazing to see nearly a million gallons of water a second go over!

As we peered down, we contemplated such deep questions as - "Do you think the water is scared as just as it goes over the edge?"
We enjoyed walking around Goat Island, and working our way over to the Maid of Mist boat tour site. The kids really loved the fashionable blue rain gear (aka a trash bag), but the jokes all stopped as we moved into the mist under the falls. The boat ride was a fun 1/2 hour. (If you enlarge the top picture of the falls, you can make out two of the boats on the water beneath the falls)

We decided to go ahead and walk over to CANADA. The kids got a kick out of standing one foot in each country on the bridge. We had a memorable lunch in Canada before returning back to the US and our RV.


We drove on and spent the night in Ohio (south of Cleveland). We had a bit of scare when Hope hit her head on the playground and got a large goose-egg bump. (All was OK, although the swelling lasted several days).
