I'll just say that Mapquest is somewhat challenged when mapping out directions in Canada.&nbsp; We found ourselves on the QEW, got off at the specified offramp, but had a pretty tough time figuring out which way to get to the Falls.</p> <p>The first thing we remember about the Falls is how we were getting rained on... but it wasn't raining!&nbsp; It was the mist from the falls.</p> <p>The Falls is one of those rare, natural attractions that just leave you awestruck as you continue to look at it.&nbsp; The size, the sound, and just the sight of it keeps you captivated for hours.&nbsp; You can go away from the Falls for a little while, then go back to it, and you get that feeling again.&nbsp; It never gets old, not for me at least.</p> <div id="photo2"> <div class="photoshadow"> <div class="photocontainer"> <div class="photobox">We had lunch at the Table Rock Restaurant, which is practically next to the Falls, and offers quite a view.&nbsp; The restaurant is tiered, to provide as many tables with a view of the Falls as possible.&nbsp; The restuarant is a great place to sample some of the popular bits of Canadian cuisine.</div> </div> </div> </div> <p>There's also a few souvenir shops along the Falls view area at Table Rock.&nbsp; You can't go wrong at any of them when picking out the perfect Falls or Canadian trinket, and a portion of the profits there go towards preserving the Falls for future generations.</p> <p>We revisited the Falls in June, 2006.&nbsp; Quite a different experience to be there in the summer as opposed to late fall, it's somewhat warm (80s) and muggy during the day, crisp and cool (60s) during the night when you're at the Falls for the Illumination and possibly the fireworks over the Falls.&nbsp; It's refreshing to get &quot;rained on&quot; by the Horseshoe Falls during the summer!</p> http://www.commonwealthtourism.com/blogcfm/1/2007/04/Travelling-To-Canada.cfm 2007-04-24T00:00:00--08:00
