ROBERT'S BIRTHDAY DINNER

So as "glammed up"  up as our limited clothing options allowed us, we rode two floors up to The Watermark for a birthday celebration.


I took this with the Panorama photo option, to show part of the spectacular view we had.



We toasted his birthday with a Californian Pinot Noir, as we watched the daylight fade and the lights from both the Canadian and American sides come on.  How often have we had dinner looking out over two separate countries?



The mist continued to drift up higher than the rim of the Horseshoe Falls.  From here we had a grand view of the Niagara River upstream from the waterfalls, as it sweeps down then plunges below.




We are planning a lazy, rest day tomorrow.  We can sleep in.  No need for an early start for sightseeing.  What we came here to see is visible from our hotel window.  Bliss.

  1. Happy birthday Robert. What a spectacular place to spend your birthday. Hope you are both going on the Maid of the Mist - a must do when you are there and great fun. Hard to imagine the amount of water that goes over the falls - mind blowing. And you both scrubbed up a treat may I say.
