Niagara Falls

---

Hello everyone. This was one our last places to visit so we thought we'd make it somewhere a bit different and decided on Niagara Falls. Out of everywhere we've been, this was probably the best spectacle of the lot. It's impossible to explain how big and powerful the falls are. Even up to about half a mile away, it felt like it was raining because there's so much mist coming up from the river. We had to wear rain ponchos for the 2 tours we went on. Niagara Falls actually separates America and Canada so we walked over the rainbow bridge from country to country which was a bit strange. We didn't know but there was actually 2 falls there. Niagara (or horseshoe to the Americans) and the American Falls. The American Falls are really impressive, they're just over shadowed by just how good Niagara Falls are. Another 10 hour train journey tomorrow. Can't wait!!

Wonderful!!!!
I homeschool my two great grandsons, ages 9and 6. These pictures will be wonderful for them to see as we are studying the states. These are also probably as close as I will ever get to seeing Niagara. They are beautiful. Thanks.
