Saturday at Niagara Falls

Yesterday, May 15th, Donna and I took Kay and Ernie Griffin to Niagara Falls, Ont. Canada. It was Kay's birthday. We parked along Clifton Hill, the main strip leading to the Falls viewing area. The parking there is precious, ours cost $10.00 for the day, even par between U.S and Canadian currency. We walked down to the park that borders the gorge of the Niagara River and overlooks the American and Canadian Falls. Between the time we started, 11 AM and finished 1:30 PM, the number of visitors increased quite a bit. The walk along the edge of the gorge is about 200 feet above the river and we could see down to the Maid of the Mist boats as they left their docks and went right up to the falling water of the Horseshoe Falls. Across the gorge on the American side there were people down in the gorge on wooden walkways that lead right up to the edge of the falling torrents of water. We walked from the Clifton Hill intersection with the River Road to the closest part of the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, stopping to look and take photos and videos. Daniel
