aero car

We have had some beautiful fall days these last couple of weeks, though yesterday wasn't one of them. Still, I needed to restock on Niagara Falls postcards, so in spite of the wind and the darkening skies and threatening rain, I headed off to find some. 

My first stop was the gift shop at the Whirlpool Aero Car.


WEGO is the Niagara Falls/Niagara Parks transit service
and this is the Aero Car waiting for people willing to traverse along the cables over the Whirlpool Rapids
and there was this group who wanted to get as close as possible to the rapids

but all I did was buy a couple dozen postcards, one of which was this one
a little day trip for signs, signs

  3. Fine collection of signs. That is a perfect name for a bus company.

    1. It's a bit out of the way of the main part of the Falls.

  5. I LOVED Niagra Falls. They did have rides on boats, which took folks very close to the falls. We went down a long set of stairs, to stand on a dock below the falls--we were drenched--but what fun! I love your pictures, and the postcard is wonderful--I'd love to ride on one of those.

    1. Niagara Falls is a wonderful place - especially if you avoid the tacky carnival bit!
