undoubtedly a modern wonder of the world

Who would have thought $20 for a carpark. $20! But let me tell you it was definately worth it. One of the most beautiful/amazing/awe-inspiring things I have ever seen… Niagara Falls! 42 million gallons of water falling every minute… and falling 20 stories no less! It was funny how we were standing right by the water fall and it was raining yet it was sunny, it was raining yet there was no clouds, it was raining and there was no hose. The spray was coming all the way back up to us… we got drenched!

After dinner we went back down to the falls again after dark because we heard a rumor that there were lights that shone on the falls. We were much cleverer the 2nd time – warm gear and jackets for the spray. It was so cool – the colours changed every 5min; white, red, blue, orange etc.

Today we are going into the Canadian wilderness around the great lakes and there may not be internet connection. So… you may not hear from us for a day or three. We’ve got to hit some snow eventually – wish us luck!

  4. Since all the other Woodies are getting in on the comments it seems only fitting I should join in. Sounds like you are having a fabulous time, I'm coming down with a cold after getting back from Brisbane on the weekend, it sure is colder back here. I guess you are noticing it getting colder, especially where you are. Good luck on the snow hunt!!

    Lots of Love
