GILL AND KEN: NIAGARA AND ST JACOB'S


We also took Gill and Ken up to St Jacob's and Elmira which have a large Mennonite community. We saw this choir in Elmira and below are the hitching posts outside one of the Mennonite churches. We also saw dozens of horses and wagons with their occupants who appeared to be out visiting their neighbours or simply enjoying the sunshine.


We visited Niagara Falls for the 3rd time with Gill and Ken and we still have not tired of the spectacle. It was a glorious sunny day when we went this time and though it was good we feel that Niagara in the winter has been the best. Gill and Ken went up the Skylon Tower, saw the Imax film and then went on the Maid of the Mist tour while Wayne and I did the tour behind the Falls. We were somewhat disappointed and would not recommend it as you did not get to see very much. Maybe we were expecting something different.


Above is the Falls from the Skylon Tower. Below is a rare photo when everyone was at their best.


Below is another view with the Maid of the Mist below the Falls. Hard to believe you can actually get that close.
