This is a cool building we saw as we drove through Buffalo, NY...
This is one of the famous "Maid Of The Mist" boats, which we took a trip on tonight...
This is a beautiful girl I saw while I was taking photos of the American Falls...
American Falls
I asked if I could get my photo taken with her... she consented.
675 thousand gallons per second goes over Horseshoe Falls...
75 thousand per second over American Falls...
Here are some of the photos from the river level on "The Maid Of The Mist"...
The challenge was keeping the lens and camera dry... Deb took these while I tackled the video camera.
This is why nobody has ever survived a trip over American Falls... nothing but rocks at the bottom!
9 of 16 people who have taken the trip over Horseshoe Falls have survived, including a 7 year old boy who was swept over in nothing but his swim suit... he was spotted and retrieved by a "Maid Of The Mist" boat...
It was the most amazing experience to enter the mouth of the horseshoe...
This was a real test of courage for Deb... my "boat girl"...
A shot from the observation deck at the top of the elevator that decends 200 feet to the boats...
Does this building look familiar Jayson? Can you say expensive dinner?
A building on he Canadian side of the border...
Rainbow Bridge... between USA and Canada...
It is a long way down by elevator to the boats...
One final shot as the sun went down and the lightning storm started.On the way to Palmyra for the night, we drove through another cload burst t-storm... we have had some amazing thunder and lightning on this trip!
The motel we are staying in tonight is only 3 months old... much nicer than the one we stayed in last night, which had a broken air conditioner... it was over 90 humid degrees in our room and they had no other room to move us to... every motel in the area was booked so we suffered through the night!
Todays Quote Of The Day: "Great! My kids already think I am a Dork!". Uttered by Deb when she discovered the Quote Of The Day feature.
