three sisters island

Today a bunch of us are going to Niagara Falls and have lunch in the Skylon Tower. I have always wanted to go there because it revolves and you get a beautiful view of the Niagara Falls. It is so high up that some of the women are a bit hesitate about going up that high. Well, we have reassured them that all will be fine. We can see the brand new casino that was built too. It is hugh. It takes up about 5 city blocks.  We are not going there. We are going to see the falls, but more important today is the three sister islands.  I have taken some pictures of the small falls there and the roaring rapids that go into the gorge too. Later , we will be going on the Maid of the Mist. It is quite a ride. You have to wear raincoats because you get soaked other wise. The boat goes right up were the falls reaches the bottom. It is so loud and it is very wet and misty there. The captain stays there for quite a long time as he tells all about the formation of the falls and how much water goes over it every day. It is a truely amazing sight. Everyone should go at least once in their life to see this amazing falls. This has been quite a day for all of us. The park around the falls is so pretty with flowers and many different types of trees and bushes to see. How wonderful to live so close to this place. It is nice to come here every year and see all the new additions to the area. This is on the American Side of the falls and they have a trolly that stops and goes and you can get off and on all through the park as many times as you want. I got real close to the rapids to take some of these pictures and I took many videos also.  I am glad that I decided to come with my friends instead of eating lunch in the park today. This was much more of an adventure and I enjoyed my self.  I will be sure to come again .
