Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls was spectacular! The falls were beautiful, powerful, strong. It's amazing to think what took place with the rivers and rocks to create something so massive. God is so creative!!

Psalm 42:6-8
My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers have swept over me.

By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me -
a prayer to the God of my life.


So...another 'interesting' story from one of our excursions. I decided that we had to go over to the Canadian side but we were stupid and forgot our passports. However, there was a gate that you could walk through and a sign next to it that read "Non-US Citizens must have a valid ID". The gate led to the bridge with the pedestrian walkway over to Canada. I said "We're US citizens...should be no problem!" HA!! Coming back over, we had to stand in a long line waiting for homeland security officials to look over our measly driver's licenses. What a lovely and kind look they gave us when we said "Uh, what are you talking about? What new rule about passports?" Sorry, hard-working customs officers!

A view of the Horseshoe Falls - the Canadian falls
This angle looks like thousands of gallons of water
dumping into an abyss.

It was an overcast day - lots of gray color

Smaller one on the right is called Bridalveil Falls

My favorite pic of J! I'm sure he's glad I'm adding this one:)
We wore these stylish ponchos on the boat

It's windy down at the bottom of the falls!

Cheesy tourists!
