NIAGARA FALLS USA & CANADA

Sunday we went to church in Rochester New York. It was a small Ward. There were only 2 Deacons and no Priests, so the Sacrament was done by the Elders Quorum. We then drove to Niagara Falls....about 90 minutes from Rochester.It was absolutely breathtaking!! This is the American side.
This is taken looking from the walking bridge that goes into Canada. Canada is on the right side and the big square tall tower on the left is an observatory. We rode "The Maid of the Mist" which is a boat that took us around the falls. This is the walking bridge over to Canada.
We wore these blue ponchos...they kept us pretty dry, but it was VERY windy!!
It was spectacular!! We got so close!!!This is Canada. Long story short....we got kicked out of Canada (hee hee). Didn't have the right papers to get in. But we walked over the border on the bridge so we were in Canada. Hey, we were out of the country twice on this vacation. The other time was at the United Nations. We are so well travelled!!
Then when we got back onto the American side we almost didn't get in there either. We were almost people without a country....the boys had a little excitement that day:)
