Last Saturday, I went to Niagara Fall for the weekend trip. We gathered near the Galasino Building around 8:30 in the morning. We started one and half-hour driving to Niagara and we arrived at the Niagara park at noontime. Then we went into the stores. We visited a handicraft store which had handicrafts from around the world such as Africa, Asia, Canada and etc. The prices were so high that I could not afford to buy them. There were also lots of handicrafts, gifts and outfits stores along the street. I saw there so many Chinese people and I thought I was in China. We wandered on the street and took pictures with the fall until eleven and thirty o’clock, then I was very hungry. But the fall was so fascinated to me that I could control my hunger (actually I had only little money~~~!)Then some of my Chinese friends and I did the Maid of the Mist boat trip. We were very surprised by the little time it took to get on the MAID OF THE MIST boat. The line was very long so I thought that it would take us hours to board the boat. However, we were pleased to see the fall and it was really not irritating to walk the line and wait. It was an amazing experience!
The boat took us right underneath the fall. Getting so close to the fall was fantastic! But I felt like I was in the rain and it was like taking a shower all over again because of the water from the fall. I got wet as I was trying to take the pictures close to the fall. But I was really happy because I had been to one of the wonders of the world's nature..I had also been to both sides of America and Canada.After that, we all had to gather at the park at 1:00p.m so we went back. On the way, we went shopping at a plaza and we arrived at the Nazareth in the evening. Of course, I was really pleased to get such a great experience tripping to Niagara Fall for the first time of my life in USA. Thank you God for everything You have done to me!!!

Thank you for your detailed account of the trip to Niagara Falls. I am so glad that you were able to visit the Falls during your stay here. I am not sure if you got to hear or read about any of the history of the area, but there is a great tradition of people trying to go over the Falls in a barrel.
