Niagara Falls here we come...we started the day a little cloudy and wet so were worried about only having the one day to see the falls....but the skies cleared and we had an amazing day.  We found parking for the truck and trailer and rode our bikes across the border to the Canadian side of the falls, which are spectacular....

 Look at these beautiful people at the falls...



This is Rainbow Falls which was very popular.  There were walking tours that you could take from the USA side which took you close to the base of the falls
The Canadian side of the falls was very touristy, almost Carnival like,  but did have a few Casinos which were very good to George.



We were happy to return to the USA side, funny enough, we felt like foreigners on the Canadian side and really just wanted to get back to our trailer and our USA trip.  It was a long, hot day so we were really pleased to see that you could enjoy an ice cold beer on the street and enjoy the music of the Niagara Falls Jazz Festival.


 While it was still early enough, we headed to Niagara Falls on the USA side, a totally different view



 Then back to the Jazz Festival for another cold one...or two and some great food and great music...


Funny note on Niagara Falls....we noticed many East Indian people, East Indian restaurants, markets, tours etc....I just had to ask why so many because we have never seen so many before in a tourist area...and we were told that in the USA they live in the desert and that they come to Niagara Falls to worship the water..that there is something sacred in the water....
