Approaching Niagara Falls from the east, one sees the high rise hotels of Niagara Falls, Canada. I thought to myself, "Is that Toronto?" I then laughed, as it could not possibly be. Instead, I looked at amazement as to what these Falls have attracted over the years. It's one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Niagara Falls froze this year and a couple dare devils became the first to ice climb the frozen falls. I would have loved to have made a trip out here this winter. But I consider myself lucky to have passed by before all the ice melted away. My dad enjoyed the stop too.
Nice to see it with some snow still left. Hard to believe that 12 million people a year go there.
ReplyDeleteI went there once, about twenty years ago. I went with a former girlfriend. We stayed in a budget hotel. Left in the drawer of one of the night tables in the hotel room was a magazine for swingers. The magazine was one page after another of black and white photographs of either naked or mostly naked people, some engaging in sex acts. Under each photo was an ID number that could be used to contact the swingers. It was a bizarre piece of Americana that I will not forget.
