I had not been to Niagra Falls since I was quite young, and my parents and my sister and I went, and saw both the American and Canadian side of the Falls including a ride on the Maid of the Mist.\u00a0 But that was during high summer, and this time my old student and friend was taking me in frigid time\u2014 November 1.\u00a0 There is a reason why super spicy hot wings were invented in Buffalo and are called Buffalo Wings. It\u2019s so freaking cold there in the winter they have to have something that warms them up inside.\u00a0 And it was breezy and cold on November 1 at the Falls. I had not taken into account that the mist that comes off the Falls would be frigid and get me soaked.\u00a0 Oh well, I did it anyway and got some fine pictures as you can now see below.\u00a0 One new interesting tidbit is that of course many famous people have been to the Falls, and on this day we were banned from crossing into Canada so we stayed on the American side and saw Horseshoe Falls etc.\u00a0 But on our side of the river there is a sign about Lafayette\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We explored a branch of the river leading up to the Falls and saw a crazy goose paddling and paddling against the current. Canadian Geese are not notably bright!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One nice thing was that it was a perfect Carolina blue sky day, so the pictures of the Falls and Canada on the other side of the Falls were great, including rainbows!<\/p>\n
