Weather was not so good. It began raining last night, and it still was hanging around us.
Today was the biggest "sight seeing" day in this trip. Niagara Falls.
It was awesome. Just "Wow. ...... WOW."
If somebody watched us go American Falls and the Falls at Canada side, he might have thought we were not enjoying so much. Well, we did enjoy and get very impressed, are very glad to come, but did not spend money for more than the parking fees (on both sides) and snacks, souvenir penny, and lunch. We didn't ride any trolley or boat, didn't visit behind the falls, didn't go up to the observation tower. My daughter (sometimes fearless, but considerably cautious almost all the time) was scared by the water and got worried about the trees stuck on the rocks under the bridge near the Falls. My husband has an acrophobia. We all got satisfied just by walking down to the river side, taking a look and feeling the mist and sound. As my husband said, we all "filled up" by the atmosphere.
Lunch; at the Falls Souvenir shops area (Canada) Burger, Hot dog
From the Falls (I think I love this simple Canadian way of naming that natural wonder) , it was a smooth drive to Toronto. The rain was coming down sometimes pretty hard. We were glad to get to the hotel by 4:00.
Problem was, our room was not ready yet, and we found out that when we entered the room. Very disappointed. We had to take down all the baggages again to the lobby and wait for the housekeeping to be done. My daughter and I went to the pool and my husband opened his laptop and checked the e-mail during the waiting. In afterthought, it was a very useful time. The room itself is very good. We are so glad we are staying another night here tomorrow.
Dinner; The Keg (two buildings down along the street from the hotel) Lobster and Steak, Sirloin Steaks, Billy Miner Pie (coffee icecream pie in chocolate crust and caramel sauce)
Note; Their service was excellent. Their food was awesome. The server lady offered celery&carrot sticks with orange wedges as salad for my daughter, whose good vegetable eating demand hasnot been filled for several days. She said (with daddy's suggestion) "Everything was good!" when we leave to the server with a big smile.
Hotel; Best Western Executive Inn
Tomorrow is a big day. Zoo, Hockey Hall of Fame, and yarn shopping.
4 days in America (North America, correctly)
