Back in Canada Again: Niagara Falls

So I cross the border into Canada from Detroit; very easily this time. 30 seconds and the lady waves me through. First stop Niagara Falls. My hotel is supposedly right across the falls, but I have no expectations as I just got a cheap room and would probably be facing the other direction. I was very excited though when I got to the room as I got upgraded and got a "falls-facing" room with a jacuzzi tub and all! The room was awesome! Here's the view from my window:
It's late when I get in, so I just grab a nice steak dinner at this Montana Grill place (after I was turned down by a Japanese steakhouse even though the place was empty. They guy says they were expecting a busload of Japanese customers. But I'm not sure. Maybe it was because I was just wearing shorts and t-shirt and alone??) I walk around later and absorb all the kitchy touristy places with flashing neon lignts, e.g. Ripley's believe it or not, Wax museum, Marvel Superheroes, etc. Not getting into it, I head back to my hotel room and indulge in the jacuzzi tub.

The next day was a gorgeous sunny day. I enjoy the amazing views and take lots of pictures with the 10,000 other tourists who were there. I thought this was the honeymoon capital of the world, but it seemed more like the Japanese tourist capital of the world, or the senior citizens tourist capital of the world.






That last one has the appropriately named Rainbow Bridge in the background. The bridge that connects the USA and Canada. Next stop: Toronto
