The Honeymoon Capital of the World
Friday, August 10: Perhaps we should have called this our third honeymoon, then we could have joined the international trend of the past century or so. (Although I'm not entirely convinced that I would want a honeymoon site with so many crying children!)
We had a fantastic time at Niagara Falls. We actually arrived in Niagara on Thursday, and even though it
was drizzling and grey we hiked down to the walkway and took our (okay, my) first view of the falls. They really are amazing. And I have no desire to take a barrel ride down them.
On Friday afternoon we "journeyed behind the falls," donning plastic yellow rain shields to see the Horseshoe Falls from behind. It was pretty powerful to watch the water thundering down right in front of us. Then we got to step out onto a ledge about halfway down the falls to get a spectacular view of the rainbow across the falls.
Throughout the day we celebrated Jason's 28th birthday, and for dinner we drove to a little place called Murphy's in St. Catherine's for great steak and fish. The food was delicious, and the underwater pirate ambience was really fun. We strolled along the harbor eating birthday ice cream (are we noticing a trend?) before heading back to the hotel to watch the Friday night fireworks show--which, fantastically, we could see from our pretty awesomely sweet hotel room. Happy birthday to Jason, courtesy of Niagara Falls!
