We are back at HQ for a day of R&R. June Yvonne was tired yesterday and went to bed early and did not get a chance to contribute to the blog. Here is her contribution. This is a video we took looking over the falls. Impressive.
The word I would use to describe Niagara Falls is majestic. There are three different falls – Horseshoe Falls (Canadian Falls), American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Obviously we viewed it all from the Canadian side.
It was a fun, informative and wet day. We lucked out as it was a sunny day and a little warm. Consequently, getting soaked was refreshing.
I’m pleased to have visited one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. One of the others is in our home state – The Grand Canyon. Some day maybe we will make it to Victoria Falls. And I hope to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) one of these days.
We have become acquainted with the small town of Waterdown, Ontario. We’ve been to the laundromat, grocery store, post office , gas stations and Tim Horton’s which seems like it is on every corner in Canada. In Canada Tim Horton’s is like a Dunkin Donuts. We also went to Canadian Tire which is kinda like a Home Depot and Auto Zone. We went there as one of the trailer tires (the spare) needed to be repaired.
We also found a jewelry store as my watch needed a new battery. While we were there we had our wedding rings cleaned. Roy, the jeweler, discovered that my ring needed repair as some of the prongs were loose and one had broken off. He repaired and fixed the ring which involved driving into Toronto for platinum welding materials. He did a beautiful job. I don’t remember my ring ever looking so sparkly. The cost for repairing it was incredibly reasonable. I would have hated losing the main diamond that was loose.
It just so happened that today was Roy’s anniversary. On the way to the jewelry store we stopped to get roses and a gift certificate to a local restaurant. He was very appreciative. We were very appreciative of the fine work he did.
Tomorrow we are off to an RV park close to Ottawa, Ontario. This is the city where Peter was born. More tomorrow. JY
P.S. It’s pouring rain right now in Flamboro Valley Camping RV and Retreat
