June 29, 2007 Day 71
We arrived in Niagara Falls around one p.m. yesterday, and had a full day of tourist activities after checking into our hotel. The view of the falls from our room really is spectacular, and I woke up briefly at dawn to take a photo of the sunrise. In the afternoon we walked all over the area, focusing on the kid attractions like the wax museum and Ripley's "believe it or not" museum and theatre. The noise and commercialism were intense, but the children had a great time.
The walk back to our hotel was hard for Adrian, who was exhausted, but we made it just in time to get to Cirque Niagara. We had bought medium-priced tickets for the show, but were upgraded to the second row when we got there. If you ever get a chance to see any of the Cirque shows, don't pass it up. We all loved it!
This morning Rachel and Rebecca were up early, and I worked on my drawing in their room, which has a desk. I just had time to finish it before Blixy and Mike picked us up to go to breakfast.

In a few minutes we'll be leaving to spend the day at the Falls.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting because I had to give myself time to get ahead in case we travel and I'm not able to post.)
