We (my wife and I, and my brother-in-law) went to Niagara Falls last week for the July 4th holiday. It was on the Ontario, Canada side.
Indeed, the Canadian side view is better than the New York side view because the falls (three total: American, Bridal Veil & Horseshoe) are mainly on the New York side, except for the Horseshoe which is a joint between U.S. & Canada. Nonetheless, I could see there are as many visitors on the New York side as well, even though I did not go to the New York site. Nadia and Willy had.
All I can say about the falls is, magnificent! Hopefully, when my parents and brother come again, I could bring them there for their NY part 2 tour.
The river after the falls was the toughest I've seen. We took a trail at the Glen down by the river for some great view, watching whirlpool boats coming and going. There's a site from one of the trails which we didn't take. It would lead to a calmer beach where I supposed one could fish for freshwater salmon. Perhaps another time. The hiking seems to be Willy's most favorite thing.
I took photos and videos. Posted them on facebook with restricted access.
The drive was long, around 8 hours one way. I learned what cruise-control is. It's nice, but maybe dangerous for various reasons.
On Sunday service at Redeemer, I was shocked at the use of U2's lyrics in the Reflection page. It is from the song titled "Gloria", based on traditional Christian music. Looking up U2, it seemed that the group, particularly Bono, the lead singer, has frequented the "taste" of Christianity on an on and off basis.
But then I shouldn't be surprised at Redeemer's emergent style approach. I am only curious because the one who prepared this page is the same Rev. Omari Hill who also quoted Mencius not long ago.
