The Thunder of Waters

The second half of our 2 week holiday in North America was spent in Canada. The weather improved drammatically from what had been rainy and overcast in the US. Our first destination was the Niagra Falls (meaning 'The Thunder of Waters' in Iroquois). We drove from Boston, across the top of New York State, and around the corner of Lake Ontario into the sprawling town of Niagra Falls, where we met up with our old friends, Jean, Michelle and Abigail who had booked us into a hotel near the Falls. I tell you the old Iroquois would have been shocked at the developments there now, with fast food joints, high rise hotels, and fair rides!

While in Toronto we went on a Hippo Tour on one of those amphibious vehicles which drives you round the streets attracting manic waves from mad people (who think they're waving at mad people) then plunges into the water (is it a river, a lake or a sea? I'm not sure!).
