Still some more from Niagra



So. to continue with Niagra Falls, here is Daniel at the top of the Canadian part of the falls. It really is so beautiful....



There were so many different ethnic people there. This really is a spot for the whole world to be amazed...


Funny, how when you leave this place that you realize that sooooo many people have travelled this path for so many years.
The tour guide (who was at least 28 years old) told us that he saw pic's of the basin of the falls in the winter, where the ice had formed on the top of the river basin, then with the mist from the fall, which would freeze with contact of the ice, had actually formed between 55 and 70 feet of ice. You just have to be amazed at this. Think about the fact that one story of a hotel is usually equal to 10 feet. So between 5.5 and 7 stories of a hotel....
We really did have a great day...I am glad I could share it with you. I am working on getting everyones emails into my hotmail account. I am sorry, I didn't know that it would be this hard...lol
I hope everyone is doing well....Miss you all
with the wind at our backs,
Shannon and Daniel
