The first day was a little bit of a bust. It was really foggy, so you could barely see the Canadian side from the American side. We had to walk on ice paths, because they did not bother clearing the walkways yet. I suppose the mist from the falls contributes a lot of that ice.
The Giant Vegetable Growers International Convention took place at our hotel. We heard mostly about people growing pumpkins that weight half a ton! Even better, people were selling their pumpkin seeds for up to $800 a seed! Weird. Pumpkin Jim's wife was having martinis while he attended the convention. She and another pumpkin grower's wife gave us the dirt on growing large pumpkins while they sipped on martinis. Quite an interesting and expensive hobby, eh?
Sunday, Julia and I walked up the edge of the falls on the Canadian side, taking lots of pictures along the way. It was pretty amazing to see the Horseshoe Falls in person. Maybe we'll make it back this summer to do the Maid of the Mist boat tour and the Journey Behind the Falls. For now, check out the pictures below.
