the wonder that is niagara
right after work on a friday (would you believe!), we were off for a 7-hour drive to buffalo, NY to see niagara falls. this is to celebrate our travel buddy's birthday and what a birthday indeed it turned out to be. the falls will literally take your breath away EVERY time you see it...it will keep you awed! there are benches you can sit on nearby to just enjoy the sound of crashing waters or you can lay a blanket and read a book (or sleep if you may)...just being there is magic!!
if you're more adventurous (which we'd like to think we are), you can experience the "Cave of the Winds" tour where you go down into the gorge and get yourself wet or ride the "Maid of the Mist" where you'll see the base of the falls aboard a boat.
this, by far, is the best travel experience ever for me. it's worth every minute of our 7-hour drive and it will be worth the fare too, if you're travelling by plane. rent a hotel nearby and if you're not too tired, try to visit the park at night time and you will see the falls being illuminated. inside the park, they have restaurants, they have a theater where you watch niagara's legendary stories, lots of different stores for souvenirs ... and if you keep your eyes open and your cameras ready, you'll find a rainbow (or two, or three) here and there!!
...appreciating God's wondrous paradise...
