My Trip to Niagara falls

Hi Guys,
Yes this is me..after a very long time...Yes, we visited the Niagara falls and here is the complete story of the trip!!!
The first great thing about the trip was the car..Yup, we had rented a Ford Mustang 2 door for the trip.. a real sporty car...man I should tell you she(???? (she/he had some real American muscle) was a real beauty to drive..Real raw power.. was a plesure to drive it...
ok so we left Ann Arbor on Friday evning at around 5.30 and reached Priya(Vidya's cousin) and Guhan's place in Toronto at around 11.30 because of the long wait at immigration, the queue being longer because of the very many visitors to Canada during the memorial day weekend. Had a nice sleep that night ..
We started off in the morning to Niagara...As I write this and when I think of Niagara I get goose pimples...MAN what a sight...MAN..MAN..MAN..Awesome..Awesome? No I think the word does injustice to the dazzling beauty that Niagara is...When we reached niagara we spent a long tome looking at the falls itself...I think the photos would do injustice too,but if you have not got link to the photos of the trip here it is

Look at it.. 36 million gallons of water fall over in a MINUTE!!!! and the water reaches 65 miles to the bottom and the spray of water after hitting the botom rises OVER the falls and touches the sky(at least that is how it looks!!!).. I don't think i can ever describe the falls in words.. I was never a poet and in situations like these I am simply lost for words... Well after looking at the falls we went to "Journey behind the falls". Journey Behind the falls is a trip though tuneels that take you to the side and behind the falls itself. This was an amazing experience.. There was so much water and the spray was falling on you.. You are quite close to the falls at this point though not dangerously enough but close enough to experice the power of the falls... After getting completely wet and endangering the camera by trying to shoot in the spray(thank god nothing happened!!).. we went to the "Maid of the mist".. This is a boat that takes you close to the falls.. words cannot describe the experince in the boat.. When you go so close to the falls you are simply mesmerised by the falls.. it is simply enormously powerful and amazingly beautiful..The falls are so powerful that howmuch ever the boat tries it cannot go any further..but think of it the boat oes that close...Man Amazing....

After all this we ( I and Vidya alone) went and grabbed some grub and went to the "House of horrors" where you hear some unearthly sounds and a lot of skeletons!!! ha ha.. yeah ok let me accept it.. it was scary!!! after that we went to "Ripley's Believe it or not".. Even this place is awesome.. real good stuff.I guess I can't explain all te stuff at Ripley's .. but yes one has to go there some time.. It is really amazing what that guy has collected!!!

Then we drove 1.5 hrs back to Priya/Guhan's place and woke them up at 2 in the morning.. Had a great sleep and then left for CN tower the next day... The CN tower is the world's tallest free standing structure. and after a long queue to get to the top we had some real fun there... The CN tower boasts of a GLASS floor at 300-400 ft in the sky!!! and the view from that glass floor is really good... Though I was scared at first.. Vidya was jumping on that glass floor!!! :)) Well they did say that it could handle around 10 elephnats on a square inch .. what if just one jumps ;)!!!

Then we went to Skypod the world's highest observatory and had a beautiful view of Tornoto from there...

Since I have to go now.. cutting short this mail.. The next day we went on a tour of the city in an Amphibious vehicle which took us around the city on its wheels and around Lake Ontario on its Hull!!! :))

Bii...MUL
