Viagra Falls

Viagra Falls

Man, that is some explosion of water! They say it drops about 180 feet but when “it” is a gazillion gallons of water a nano second we are talking a major drubbing. It is the mother of all water boarding. The plunge of the plume, the fall of the falls, you get the idea.

Beautiful gardens and walking trails surround the falls on all sides. Even have gardens shaped like all the great lakes. Most people not walking but taking cars or elevators, or trolleys. Think there is some correlation between the size of the average tourist and the amount of walking they do. Suzy and I spent over two hours walking between American Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Three Sisters Islands, and Canada. Each provided a different vantage point for the spectacle of cascading water.

Niagra Falls the cities (both American and Canadian) were big disappointments. Every touristy gimmick to separate you from your money was installed on every square foot just outside the parks boundaries. Reminded me of all the check cashing stores outside of Army bases. Didn’t see any honeymooners. Where could they have been? Wait, I think I figured it out………..
