With my sister’s wedding out of the way, the last few days have seen me acting as driver and tour guide for my mother and my cousins from Poland. We spent an intense few days in Toronto and Niagara Falls, which has left me happy…albeit tired and sunburned in strategic places (relax…it’s not anywhere RUDE ;-) ).
When you live in Ontario, you take for granted many of the sights and sounds that overseas visitors are dying to see. The last few days have allowed me to explore places I haven’t been to in years, and witness some massive changes. Niagara Falls in particular is not the cheesy tourist attraction I recall from my childhood. In fact, it’s become quite cosmopolitan — loud, mad, brash, stylish, and in-your-face.
So, here are a few random snapshots from the last few, busy days…
(1) Various TORONTO attractions, including the CN Tower, Nathan Phillips Square, the Eaton Centre & Dundas Square…
(2) NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE: as charming and beautiful as I remember it…
(3) NIAGARA FALLS, in all its brash glory — including shots of the falls (one of them at the bottom of the falls :D) and the madness of Clifton Hill…
