Canadian Niagara Falls
Sunday we left camp around 10:30 am and headed over to Niagara Falls. The drive was mostly freeway and it rained much of the way, but we weren’t towing the trailer so it was okay. By the time we arrived in Niagara Falls, it was clearing. We parked ($20) and walked a relatively short distance down to Niagara Falls Parkway, which has a long viewing path overlooking the falls
and upriver too. You can go through a welcome building that houses gift shop, informational exhibits and “washrooms” (Canadian restroom.)
What a majestic sight. There was a roar and large cloud of mist from Horseshoe Falls. We snapped photos and then just stood in awe for awhile. We marveled too at the large hydroelectric
installations along the river/falls. The surrounding neighborhoods along Niagara Parkway were a delight to drive through. We got back on the road to Milton and by chance found a Greek restaurant (recommended on TripAdvisor) called Joe Feta’s Greek Village. It is in the
city of St. Catharine. We really enjoyed the food and ambiance. It was altogether a thoroughly enjoyable day. Back at the campground, David napped and Arlene and I vacuumed the trailer. (overdue)

Steve Mulcahy Enjoy reading about your adventures����. Question? Are you two having fun yet?��
Karen Espitia Wow! Great information and photos. great job narrating your journey. Enjoy! Karen
David Pritzos Well, frankly, partly. Because of having to be out of Canada by October 15th and our grandkids are flying to Florida to meet us at Thanksgiving ~ our schedule is too tight. That 2-2-2 rule is looking better and better - 200 miles a day, stop by 2 p.m. and stay 2 days! Dave
Kari Wow! Amazing and truly is a "wonder of the world". How's the knees and shoulder holding up?
