And it was nice. In a mild, non-spectacular kind of way. The boat ride on the Maid of the Mist was very good. The long wait to get on it, coupled with the obnoxious behavior of some extremely rude travel companions was exhausting, to say the least. I think the crowd sort of killed the experience for me. In keeping with folklore, I met someone I knew at Niagara Falls. (Apparently there are so many desi tourists there that you always run into someone you know. And its true!)
Thousand Islands at Alexandria Bay was a much better experience.
a). It was quieter and prettier.
b). The audio commentary was very, very good.
c). The stewards on board were cute.
d). Lots of interesting trivia....twin brothers married twin sisters and bought twin islands. Thousand Island dressing owes its origin to a resident of this millionaire's lair. The owners of US airways, Kellogs and the Waldorf-Astoria hotel were some of the owners of their own private islands.
e). One of the islands is on sale...for a couple of mills. Nice. If I had some small change lying around, I could buy it.
f). The Strawberry Daiquiri they served hit the spot.
