Today was beautiful, again! Warm
(about 19 degrees C), and mostly sunny with a few cloudy periods. We had
breakfast at the hotel this morning, then decided that we would do the
"Maid of the Mist" boat ride today. We went over to U.S. side
of Niagara Falls for the ride, as the lineups for the ride were less than half
that of the lineups for the Canadian side. So we drove through the border
and parked on Goat Island, in the midst of the Niagara River. We had a
bit of a walk around, and made our way to where the boats depart. We were
ready to be soaked, but with the supplied poncho, we barely got wet at all.
The hems of my jeans got a bit wet, and I think that was the worst of it.
What a fantastic experience that was! It's hard to describe the
power and force and magnitude of the water going over those falls.

We haven't decided what we're doing
for dinner this evening - perhaps burgers and beer. Sounds good to me!
