Niagara Falls at Night

If we thought it seemed like Las Vegas before, it is even more similar at night! We went down on Sunday night to see the fireworks over the falls. At night, the falls are lit up with huge spotlights that change colour. There are tons of vendors who sell bubble machines as well, so there are lots of little kids making bubbles everywhere, which is also pretty cool. We went to the very top level of the falls where the stone wall, which is about chest high, is three feet away from where the water pours down over the top of the falls. It is a really, really freaky feeling being that close to so much power, even though you know there is no way you could possibly fall in! The only drawback was that it was hugely busy being the Sunday of a long weekend. We were quite surprised at what a draw this area seems to be for Middle Eastern and Indian tourists. We often felt like we were not in Canada anymore.
