I couldn't get them out of there fast enough and drove around to the floral clock and the butterflies then back up the scenic route. They were quite excited about the casino and the illuminations so we ended up going back.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-35640185624289857422008-09-27T08:07:00.000-04:002008-09-27T08:07:00.000-04:00I grew up down there in Niagara and I could never ...I grew up down there in Niagara and I could never get over that everyone who came to visit from anywhere was crazy nuts about going to visit the Falls. I mean, the actual falls are pretty cool, but the rest of the town is a nightmare of tackiness, gouging and overcrowding. (shudder). NOTL is at least prettier.

At least you didn't get stuck in the mud trying to do a u-turn like I did... the boys won't let me forget it lol <BR/><BR/>I love being a tour guide to Niagara Falls and especially Niagara-on-the-lake that are touristy and ridiculously expensive. But so beautiful in their own way. And the wineries... ohhh the wineries... we visited a few of them. *dreamy look*<BR/><BR/>So looking forward to tomorrow!Cycling Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365817168224699607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-75629139163632933862008-09-26T09:30:00.000-04:002008-09-26T09:30:00.000-04:00I always find it funny how europeans come here wan...I always find it funny how europeans come here wanting to see Montreal, Niagara falls and the Rockies in one week.
