Today, we visited Niagara Falls. One of the falls is on the American side of the border, while Horseshoe Falls is on the Canadian side. We saw an IMAX Movie on the different people who have gone over the falls. We walked along the beautiful park beside the falls, and rode the Maid of the Mist boat ride which took us right up to both falls. We also took a walk through an underground tunnel and got to go behind the Horseshoe falls. My favorite part of the day was the theater. I enjoyed learning about the different ideas that were used for going over the falls and the motives for each person making an attempt. The earliest known plunge was made by a 63-year old school teacher, Annie Taylor. She made the plunge in a barrel and cascaded down Horseshoe Falls in 1901...and lived to tell about it. Tomorrow we will take some more pictures and go souvenier shopping.
