Day 4 -- Niagara Falls




. It was a work day for our hostess and she was gone when we got up. Andrew fixed breakfast for us and we set out for Niagara Falls, about 120 miles away. For lunch we stopped at Tim Horton’s, which has now become our favorite venue as well. When we arrived in Niagara Falls, it was hotter than hell. We checked into our hotel, an interesting round structure perched on a tall base (column) with only 4 floors with rooms (floors 26-29). Then we went and viewed the falls and walked around in sweltering heat. We were really grateful for the cooling mist from the falls. We got back to the hotel at the same time as Bo’s friends – Lucy and George. The four of us walked around the town together. Lucy and George used to live in Niagara Falls for about a year right after they emigrated to Canada twenty years ago so they showed us around and took us through a tacky tourist strip with all the touristy shams. We went out to dinner at the local Keg, which was not as good as The Keg in Oshawa. We decided there was no sense in spending a second day in Niagara Falls and with some difficulty we changed our reservation to 1 night.
