Niagara: did I say amazing?

We are astounded at Niagara Falls.  This morning we took the Maid of the Mist ride into the clutches of the Horseshoe falls… and we snapped a million pictures! Some photos I am sure we won’t see a thing but fog as these falls make their own rain.  After that ride we headed up the Niagara river to take photos at the rapids and then the Royal Botanical Gardens and Butterfly Conservatory where a butterfly settled on Chuck’s finger as he was taking a photo and sat there for about 15 minutes.  We viewed lots of flowers and roses and then picnicked in the gardens (sandwiches made from last night’s lamb dinner up in the Skylon)… Then Chuck dropped me at the Falls while he took the van back to the hotel.  I just stood in one place and gazed (and took more photos).  What a memory we have.  We then walked the entire mile or so towards our hotel stopping for a "domestic beer" Molsen Canadian beer and then to the Secret Garden for dinner.  It was a really beautiful garden with a restaurant in the middle. Sat outside and just absorbed. Time to watch NFL TV with RGIII back in the saddle playing Michael Vick. and then… tomorrow morning (Tuesday) heading back into the USA! God bless you.
