Texxie's Summer Vacation Pics, Part 2!!

[texchan]

Our first stop along the way was Niagara Falls. We stayed there for a couple of nights before driving on to Toronto. Niagara is one of my favorite places, although I found it a bit more crowded than I like during this visit. Makes sense that it would be, though, because it's summer. Peak travel and tourist season. I prefer going more during the off season because I love the colder weather. And I really love the lack of crowds! No matter what, though, the Falls are always gorgeous.

Pics behind the cut, again.





The Horseshoe Falls, which are on the Canadian side of the border.



Long view of the American Falls (on the US side of the border) from our hotel room. The bridge you can see here is the Rainbow Bridge. It's one of four that cross from the US into Canada.



Glass sculpture in the lobby of our hotel.



Horseshoe Falls again -- because I can't seem to get enough of them. Gah. Just love them soooo much!









Skylon Tower.



Small street view of part of the "tourist" area near Clifton Hill.



Fountain in front of one of the nearby hotels.



Another fountain. Thought about change diving in here to pay for my trip! Hee!



Hotel window. I really love these light fixtures!
