This past weekend Elysia and I took a trip down to the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls, about 2 hours out of Toronto.
Just thought I’d share some of the photo’s with y’all here because there were some breathtaking sites to be seen!
The falls themselves were other worldly… 150 million liters of water flowing over them per MINUTE…
We also heard about a little kid who accidentally got washed over them AND LIVED!
There was also, of course, plenty of token tourist activity, the highlight of which for me was a FUDGE FACTORY with the most ridiculous sweets you can imagine (I’m a massive sugar fiend)
And on the last day, I even managed to find a place that offered something I’d been itching to do for quite a while… Indoor Skydiving!!
This is me FLYING in a wind tunnel…
Amazingly, we got done pretty much everything we’d wanted to do and still had time to hit the all important Hilton Casino!
Other interesting revelations from the trip included:
1. Niagara Honey Brown Beer is freaking AWESOME. I’m not a big beer drinker but I could drink that stuff all night.
2. Being a sugar fiend, the highly anticipated IHOP visit that I’d been looking forward to was a pretty serious let down. Only like 4 pancakes to choose from, none of which are even THAT fancy… why is it THE house of pancakes??
3. Since we’re on food… I tried for the first time these little tiny chunks of ice cream in a cup called Mini Melts which are also MEGA nice.
4. There are only so many “haunted houses” you can put on one single street.
5. American tourists are forever entertaining… and by entertaining I mean to laugh AT… not WITH 
And more…
The whole Niagara region is fascinating for a bunch of reasons and I highly recommend if you’re ever in the area, you check it out!

So did you manage to win some good money at the casino?
And the wind tunnel thing looks very fun!
Sounds like tons of fun! I haven’t been to Niagara Falls since I’ve been 3 years old and have only vague memories.
Although the honey brown beer sounds very good, personally I think I’d find the fudge factory more appealing (if anyone ever wanted to extract a secret out of me using fudge would probably be more effective than sheer torture).
Damn, now I can’t stop thinking of fudge. I really need fudge. URGH! Another work day ruined
Hi There:
Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake are really awesome. Do you guys live in Toronto now? If so, how about an IM seminar….
Also FYI, I sometimes find Vegemite in Bulk Barns.
Glad you are having so much fun
