this is where the GPS just freaked out.... it doesn't have Canadian maps, so it just showed us floating in the water... a bit disconcerting.....
Sunday…..(7-27-08) arrived in Canada…. our hotel is right in the center of tourist heaven or hell, depends on how you look at it! On the plus, we don’t need the car!
Less than ten minute walk to the falls….. today we just walked down and checked things out…..we got airbrush tattoos and went into a maze…. Kawena’s dream! I think it took her 15 minutes to figure it out… then she was helping others through… we spent an hour in there… it was probably a 20 minute maze for the lost people (would've taken me 3 days by myself) …..
We had dinner at Boston Pizza…. not that either of us had pizza though…. went back to the room around 10 and passed out!

Monday(7-28-08)—Bill’s parents picked us up around 12…. before that we went to Tim Horton’s for breakfast…. unfortunately I got 2 calls from the insurance company while we were on line to order and we missed the breakfast menu…. anyway, they took us all around Niagara….. old print shops, the aero cars, wineries, orchards, the power plants, the bridges, the restaurant their 50th anniversary will be at…… great trip! When we got home, we took a nap because it was raining and we couldn’t go out anyway! Then we went to dinner at Rain Forest Cafe, then to Guinness Book of World Records and down to the falls to see them lit up…. pretty!

the "thing" we found in the grass... Kawena said it was a caterpillar, Bill's
mum said slug... his dad touched it (we thought it was plastic) I said gross!
