This is one amazing planet...

Here is a little for those of you who didn't know that I was actually a famous rock and roll guitarist.....LOL

This is from our trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. So much stuff to take in....

Lots of fun and it made me think of our friends....Mike and Lorraine and Sue and Wayne....you guys would still be there checking out all the great stuff....Les Paul originals ect....

We made it to New York...on the west side. Just a bit up from Buffalo. In a place called Grand Island. We are here to check out Niagra Falls.

We decided to take a tour with a company so we could get all the sites in in a short time....

We got to the park and went directly onto the boat company that has been "sailing" these waters since 1928. She is called the "maid of the mist" and she took us right into the mist of the canadian part of the falls. The horseshoe as they call it. It is the most amazing thing. You are sprayed with wonderfull mist from falls that are about 180' feet tall and land in a area full of turbulence of the most inspired blue. Light aqua blue, a little darker than the blue waters of glaciers. Clean and moist air....

I did make it through that without losing all my makeup...LOL

Up to the observation deck from there...see pic above

Then over to another part of the park to take a elevator down 150 or so feet that was "dug out" by "hand" to a spot called Cave of the Winds. This took us up some stairs to a spot that we were actually only 15 feet from the start of Bridal Veils Falls. (This is a fall that carries 1% of the total amount of water over the falls. The American Falls carries 9% and the Canadian Horeshoe Falls carries 90 %. In total the falls carry 750,000 gallons of water over in one second....this is one amazing planet. How lucky are we to be here????
