We decided to take the iconic "Maid of the Mist" boat ride to view both the Horseshoe Falls (Canadian side) and the American Falls. In Niagara you can actually see across to the New York state side. I also didn't know the falls come from Lake Erie dumping into Lake Ontario. The Boat Ride was amazing. We talked with a couple visiting from New York and they suggested we walk across the International Peace Bridge to the New York side. I had no idea you could do that, so with your passport and 1 Canadian dollar you can make a quick walk across the boarder. The US side was a National Park with a very park like feel. Smaller facilities, but still beautiful views and great opportunities for pictures. We ended the day at a very cool local restaurant called The Flying Saucer. Built in the 60s as a themed restaurant, it looks like a flying saucer. Great service, I stuffed myself on poutine. On to Kingston and Kayaking!
