We got a chance to see Nick Brideau before the Falls. He served his mission in Alberta and we did the potato shooting with him and Elder Miller LAST summer! He's done with the mission now and is back home in Ontario. We just chilled in his back yard and talked for a bit before we headed on our way. He is so awesome, hopefully we will get to see him again soon.
The Falls were Huge! By far the largest out of all the falls we've seen this summer. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to stop there. This was James' first time there, and My second. And I have to say, the Canadian side totally trumps the American side. If you ever visit, just go to the Canadian side, it's cleaner and you getter a WAY better view of the falls. CTV news was at the falls with us because the day before two people died and one man was injured severely. A girl from Japan was studying in Toronto and came to Niagara for some sight seeing and decided to go over the barier to take a picture. It was wet out, she was holding an umbrella, lost her footing and fell into the river. She was then swept over the falls. While searching for her body they found an unidentified male in the whirl pool and had no idea how long the man had actually been swirling around there. The last man just fell about half way off the falls and was hurt on some rocks below. Moral of these stories; Don't be a stupid Tourist.
Love Always,
