Niagara Falls, August 19 2009

We drove from Chicago to Niagara Falls, Ontario through Canada.  We stayed at the Hilton Fallsview  hotel on the 34th floor.  You could see Niagara Falls from the window of our room.  The Horseshoe falls looked pretty good.  It had good food, with an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. We went to the top of the hotel, where the builders were still working but the view was even better.

There was a casino, but I don't like casinos very much.  This fountain was really cool because it was very mechanical.

The Falls was quite nice.  The hotel had a very good view of the Falls.  We took a boat called the Maid of the Mist where you get silly blue raincoats to wear before you enter the boat. We went out to the falls after I stepped on the elevator-man's toe.  It was very WET because the water is crashing down all around the boat.  We went very close to the Falls and my face got very wet; it was very misty.
