I didn’t know if going to Niagara Falls would be cliche and boring for my native Canadian friends – but to my delight, they not only insisted I see this World Wonder but they, too, were very excited to go. In fact – both of my friends spent their honeymoon time at Niagara and look forward to many more visits. We had two amazing meals that day, but those are for another post, so here are my best snapshots from the Falls themselves:

I believe the direction my friend Zuzu dictated was, “Look luxurious.”

You are actually looking at a gorgeous rainbow on the ground. It was amazing and I nearly busted my camera trying to capture this image because the mist was so overwhelming. We even bought plastic ponchos to help protect us. Our clothes anyway. I’m glad I upgraded my camera because this shot alone was worth the investment. I love rainbows.

This was an area actually down a ways from the main Falls. It is usually torrential whirlpools, but the water was calmer that day.

There were so many rainbows that day. It was a real treat.

The sad part is he had a very bad Indian accent.

And finally, the creme de la creme of my Niagara Falls pictures, a picture of a giant Hershey Kiss with my friend Zuzu photo-bombing in the background as she lovingly caressed the Hershey related products:
