    Default Niagara Falls weekend.

    My wife and I go up to the falls almost every year, but we had never been in winter. We decided this was the year. The Falls are quite stunning with all the snow and ice. This is the view of the American Falls from the Skylon Tower dining room.


    And of course my shave set up for the weekend. That is AOS tallow formula in the Old Spice mug. When I first started wet shaving I didn't care for this mug much. Lather used to build up and spill out over the top making a big mess. I must have been very sloppy then because it seems just about right now. I may pick up a couple more.

    My wife and I also like going to the falls in the winter. It's really cool to see all the ice on different things from the mist. I'm sure you had a great time!

    I forget that most people don't have the chance to see this. It is about 30 minutes from my home.

    It is quite a thing to see!

    Hi Ed. I thought of you on the way up there. It takes me about two hours to get there.

    We did indeed have a great time Harrywally.

    Here are few more pics. First ones are from our hotel room window. Last one is from outside near the gorge.
    Not sure if the panoramic shots will translate very well, but if you guys open the images... Well, you know.

    My wife has always wanted to see the falls and I was against it. I grew up in the country in a time when there wasn't much traffic. I had heard all my life how bad the traffic was "up north". Last year I finally gave in and drove her to the falls. I have to admit the traffic wasn't as bad as everyone had said and the falls were beautiful. I'm glad we went. truly a sight to see.
