Update #2 - Niagara Falls
(I left more time between the two updates than I thought I would)
Saturday was an interesting day -- Andrew, John, Julie and I went to Niagara Falls for the day. The whole experience was a nice break from the ordinary, but I wouldn't say it was a life changing event.
We left around 10 AM, after checking my tires and filling up my tank. At first, John folowed me in his car, but apparently he found my driving incompetent and got in front of me, at which point he promptly made a wrong turn. Serves him right. A good few hours later, we finally got into Niagara Falls.
Our cars got separated when we hit the very, very busy main street, so I pulled off into a hotel and phoned him to figure out where he was. We parked our cars at the Falls and met up, and then my picture taking began.
We visited the Falls first, since we were there. Quite impressive, but like I said, it wasn't breathtaking. No one went over in a barrel that day, unfortunately. After that, we had lunch at a very busy Burger King, where I had a very delicious Bacon Cheeseburger.
The only real attraction we took in was Ripley's Believe it or Not. There really wasn't too much else on the strip of great interest, though I think I might have liked to see the wax museum of the stars. We looked around at smoe of the souvenier shops, but I'm pretty sure I'm the last one to see Niagara Falls in all of Canada, so I didn't bother buying anything (though I was keeping an eye out for something for Nathalie since she got me something from Las Vegas). We also headed into the casino to waste a few bills.
By then it was getting a bit late, so Andrew and I headed home, as John and Julie were staying the night to see Marine World and Niagara-on-the-Lake the next day. We got a bit lost on the way back; we headed too far into Toronto than we were supposed to, so it was still a 2-hour trip even after going 140km/h most of the way.
All in all, a good trip, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Maybe I'll head out to Toronto next and see the hustle and bustle of downtown.
