Niagara Falls by day, part 2

It's impossible to fully understand the capacity and magnificence of the Falls if you don't take the time to view them from both of the countries they straddle. So, we made the journey over to Canada. We cleared customs rather quickly, parked the car, and took the tram down to the Horseshoe Falls. The tram, a $2 investment (Canadian), is amazing; it seems silly, but it really provides a great view of the Falls. After disembarking, we headed over to the Horseshoe, and all I can say is that this is exactly what the journey to the Falls is all about. Whether or not it's American or Canadian, this natural structure is beyond comparison. You have to see it to fully understand. I'm not even sure I can do this phenomenon justice with any words. Just take a look at some of Josh's photographs (seen here). We were lucky and had glorious sun this particular day, and, apparently, it is quite usual for sunny days to result in a fully arched rainbow from the middle of Niagara River, right to the base of Horseshoe Falls. What a gorgeous sight!

Side note: 17 people have willingly gone over the Horseshoe Falls; 10 have lived to talk about it.
