Vacation 2001
Mackinac Island - Great Lakes - Niagara Falls
Day 7 - Friday, August 31th, 2001
Friday, we arrived in
Niagara Falls,
the Canadian side. As we drove past the falls, the sun shining on the heavy
cloud of mist created a brilliant rainbow. We continued down stream to the
Cable Car
crossing and rode the cable car across the gorge and the whirlpool below.
We rode up the glass elevator to the top of the
Skylon Tower
and had a delicious lunch in the revolving diningroom with a spectacular view
of both the American and the Canadian falls below.
After lunch, we took a thrill ride on the
Maid of the Mist.
As we got closer and closer to the Canadian falls, the mist of the falls
engulfed us, the thundering water plunged down just a few feet away from us,
and our thin plastic rain coats were no match for the drenching we got! We
stood in awe and amazement in the midst of God's creation. After dinner, we
walked down to the observation platform to see the falls bathed in ever
changing colored lights.
