Niagara Falls

We've been out travelling the last 2 weeks, which explains the dearth of posts. I'll post part 1 of the travel series: Niagara Falls!

We drove about 8 hours there, and I was surprised that we made it :) Of course, WL drove the whole way thanks to my previous experience at the wheel in SF. Viewing the falls was really worth the trip! It's really amazing how much water goes over the falls per second. It's said that 20% of the world's fresh water suply goes over the Niagara falls. We took a boat ride- the famous Maid of the Mist- to the base of the falls and experienced a little of the power and glory of God. It's beyond description, just realising that the falls itself is only a small part of the entire creation of God. It was a good moment for me, one of the moments where you feel that you've been transported out of "now" and have been given a glimpse of eternity :)

There are 2 parts to the falls. In the center picture, the falls on the left are part of Buffalo. NY, while the falls to the right belong to Ontario, Canada. We were in Canada, having driven over the causeway bridge, and it gave us a really good view of both falls. Unfortnately, the place has turned into a tourist trap. We didn' take any pictures of it, but next to the falls, there were casinos, amusement parks and such. Sad, right? I thought that the falls itself was worth the trip.
