Niagara Falls ....

 On their way to see ....

The Maids of the Mist ....

Niagara Falls ....

There was an American, there was a Horseshoe, and there were Maids in the Mist ....

Many fine words have been written, and millions of photographs have been taken, so I won't say any more ....
As you can see from one of the shots, the Maids in the Mist were as busy as ever. It's a great experience to take that trip.
Obviously they do not show you the experience, so to see that - go here ....

Niagara Falls ....

The Niagara Skywheel ....

It was a rare day, no wind; sunshine, and the falls mist rising vertically into a clear (though not cloudless) sky.
We tried out the Niagara Skywheel with our granddaughter, and I must say that we liked it a lot!
It gives you a great view of the falls, and it's totally smooth so it's very comfortable.
So if we'd recommend it? I think the answer's most definitely yes.

More still life ....

Just as well it didn't move, or I'd have been hitting the delete button again .....

Well it did move - just a little bit :-)

Flutterby ....

At the Butterfly - I prefer Flutterby - Conservatory in Niagara Falls ....

The Mandarin Restaurant, Niagara.

I spent most of last week emailing family.
I wanted to get everyone together for a surprise party for my wife's birthday.
It worked out wonderfully well, and was a huge surprise for her.
We hadn't been to that restaurant before, but all the reviews I read were excellent, so I took the plunge and booked it. I didn't regret it one bit.
Thanks Mandarin for a terrific buffet, excellent service, great atmosphere, and very reasonable prices. We'll be back for sure .....

On the Niagara Parkway yesterday .....

The Niagara river and the USA is in the background .....

East Side Mario's

The ambience of a restaurant has a direct result on the satisfaction of the meal ......
Well - we left well nourished and completely satisfied .....

Let us spray .....

Fountains outside the Fallsview Casino

In the concourse of Fallsview, a rather unusual fountain represents the hydro-electric power generating capabilities of Niagara Falls
