Oh, and thanks for all the suggestions and advice!

Go ride the boats on the Canadian side.

What is the difference between the Canadian boat and the US boat? They
both take you on a 15 minute ride up to Horseshoe falls and back and
start right across the river from each other.
We watched that show out the window. I didn't want to take the ride
after that.
You can walk behind the falls and that is interesting.

The rest of the pictures I took back there are just falling water.

I wish I had a picture of the sign at Rock Point Park, around the
corner from the falls a few miles where they tell you not to touch the
water. Later that day people were standing in the spray of Lake Erie
with their mouth open.

If they still have them, there are caves under the falls.

Where is your BS detector. Most of the worlds fresh water is ground
water. Of the rest, most is ice. They teach that stuff in the
undemanding Geology 101, " Rocks For Jocks ". Where English majors go
to get an A in a science course.

We stayed at the falls Marriott. It is pretty nice over there.

Great view! We're planning on a helicopter ride, so maybe we'll get at
least one good view. I wonder if the Marriott folks would mind if we
just took the elevator up for some pictures?

We're going to be staying here.

If you do a chopper ride of the falls, much cheaper to take off from the
USA. For starters, GST+PST just get people just-****ed. Plus American
companies charge less for starters.

Then there's the approx 20% saving for 'mericans with yankee dollahs.

I only scored a B in that class. Long story involving Miss Chicago,
the local Greek community, etc. Should have been an A.

Thanks for that. I see a trip there in my future.

Care to wager? For what it's worth, I didn't ever say anything to the
affect that "most" of the worlds fresh water did anything. I said 20%
of the world's fresh water goes over the falls.

You are full of it. Twenty percent of the river water in North America
is a far cry from the world's anything. Seen any icebergs go over the
falls? Big slabs of water soaked sandstone perhaps? That is where the
fresh water is, not in that or any other river. As for the actual flow
over the falls, it isn't what it used to be. Lots of water goes
through turbines instead. Sooner or later, all the water will go for
hydro power, and the falls will be dry.

And you believe that. 98% of the worlds fresh water is either ground
water or ice, and none of it goes over the falls. Twenty percent of
the river water in North America goes over the falls, but so what?
