Maid of the Mist




Most of us have heard about the Maid of the Mist Boat Tours at Niagara Falls, and I must admit it lives up to the hype!!! The boat goes past the American Falls and then heads on to the Canadian Falls, which are the classic horseshoe shaped falls. The boat gets quite close and you can feel the force of the wind, see the raging currents in the water, and get drenched by the mist. To be underneath as the water crashed down is pretty awe inspiring! There was a display that talked about a seven year old boy who was boating with his family above the falls. They had an accident and he went over the falls in just a life jacket and survived. It is incredible to think that anyone could survive that sort of a “fall” !
