Niagara Falls
Canada: Day Three
The last day at Niagara Falls went quickly. Leaving the tourist town for a bit, we drove out to Niagara-on-the-Lake, a little village sitting in the middle of the Niagara Vineyard District. Sadly, we passed on the ice wine.
We walked around Fort George,
spied on Fort Niagara a country away,
,
and visited the Casino again.
.
That night we got our supplies together for the trip back. Canada was a lot of fun and it turned out everything was 10-20% off. Gotta love the exchange rate!
The next morning we drove home…=(, but it’s okay. It all ended with cake!
Canada: Day Two
After traveling and only a preliminary exploration on Day One, we awoke the next morning (at about noon), ready to take on the great Niagara Falls. After breakfast…at Dennys.
The rest of the day of rather event-filled. We…
walked the town,
saw the falls,
found my future house,
saw the falls,
explored history,
saw the falls,
ate at the hilariously named but most excellent, ‘The Keg’,
saw the falls,
visited the casino,
and finally, after being dragged from food to gambling to thousands of tons of crushing water…we went to bed.
Canada: Day One
Canada, the great white north, the land of maple syrup, hockey players, and the word ‘eh’. Also the home of mounties, mountains, moose, and the show Due South. It’s the land above our land, a wide expanse of socialized healthcare and syrupy sweet maple flags. I recently traveled to our quiet, diligent neighbor in search of the majestic Niagara Falls. After three days living like a polar bear I’ve returned with tales of the land above the border.
The Niagara falls are located above the bustling plains of theres-nothing-here upstate between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
Day one took me from the comparative civilization of Ulster County through a few hours of farms and factory towns. It was late in the day we managed to sneak through the border and setup shelter.
Our basecamp? A little nook called Radisson…
Seeking sustenance e slipped into the local Outback Steakhouse. A shoddy little affair with a half-lit sign forgotten by the rest of the town in leiu of larger signed establishments.
The food was good after a long travel.
Afterwards, as night descended, we sought to catch glipse of the falls! Unfortunately, it turns out Canada’s cold, eh.
Stumbling around the dark we caught only a few glimpses of civilization.
The cold overwelming us, we scuttled back to camp and rested up for Day 2!
