thanksgiving break... Part II: Niagara falls

The falls werent as grand as i initially thought it would be, as i imagined it to be a high huge waterfall with waters falling from great heights... But after having been there, then i realise that its so famous not because of its height but rather, the milions of gallons of water that it releases every second... Its the sheer power and volume that amazes the world, and this makes it work even better as a hydroelectric dam... It was darn cold over there though, with mist all around the falls making it even harder to take pictures... But it was still an amazing sight, the only regret being that we could not enjoy a boat ride around the falls... (the rides are availble from april to october only) Shall go there again during summer i hope, n i shall finally attempt to drive in the US... A more enjoyable aspect of the trip to niagara is more of the wine tasting along the way... We stopped for wine tasting at different galleries but due to time constraint, we could only stop at 2 of them... Was introduced to ice wine, which is much sweeter than ordinary wine and much more expensive... ITs so expensive as there needs to be 3 consecutive nights of -8 degrees before the grapes could be plucked and fermented... So its not something tt can be done every year... For those who dun like wine, cos of its bitterness or wadever, u shd really try ice wine... Its very soothing n cooling n sweet! Really a very different breed of wine... Arrgh, shdnt think bt ice wine anymore, makes me thirsty only... Haha...
N just for ur info, the buffet wif the cheesecake was ate in niagara, inside of a casino... Haha... Din gamble though, firstly there wsnt really enuff time n 2ndly, my luck in casinos haven been t good at all... Lost 10USD both times i tried playing so well, mebbe i shdnt play...
