Niagara Falls

Went to see the majestic waterfalls. Still lucky with weather we go on the boat trip, as well as finding a little spot on the goat island where it is possible to go in. We don't swim, but it's nice to feel the power of this river. The "backside" of the city is sad, shops closed down, much poverty. Even the Indians craft fair we miss, although they're supposed to be out everyday. Tuesday was an exception apparently. The visitor center compensated us with some history.
