Then onto Niagara Falls. It wasn't supposed to be nice but was a beautiful day for viewing - 62 degrees, partly cloudy and hardly any wind. We walked the bridge to Canada again and walked to the famous Horseshoe Falls - about 3/4 mile each way. The views were outstanding. The one problem was, because there was no wind, the spray went straight up toward the sky which hindered the view. Really no complaints though. We were able to walk along the river leading to both falls.
One point here. Yesterday we were quite surprised by the $0.50 'toll' to walk across the bridge. With that in mind we went well prepared with a pocket full of quarters. The turnstile that collects the toll does not seem to care if the coin is Canadian or US. We used what we had, and in doing so we paid extra considering the current exchange rate, 1.00 USD = 1.32 CAD. It was still much less expensive than other fees, taxes, tolls, and surcharges that we have encountered here in New York.
A couple of my thoughts : 1) this water is not being recycled - how in the world can there be so much water, 2) God is so creative - so many people want to see His greatness in nature. We were pooped from walking so much that we just ate snacks in our room. Wonderful day.
