With summer about coming to an end and research starting to get interesting I embarked on a trip to the north-est part of New York to meet the sublime Niagara Falls and the Maid of the Mist experience. I include in this post one picture of Niagara Falls at night with Canada on the other side.
If you're thinking about going to Niagara Falls from New York City you will probably search for tours that take you there on Google. Independently of what website you find, you will probably end up taking a bus in China Town and paying some extra money for going to either Corning Museum of Glass or Thousand Islands or both. We chose the Thousand Islands combo. Thousand Islands is an archipelago in the border between Canada and US, which for interesting that it might be you will hardly find it very interesting after visiting the majestic Niagara Falls with the Maid of the Mist experience. That said, the Maid of the Mist experience is a short boat trip that takes you as close as you can get to the Falls, so that you can immerse yourself in the mist created by the drops of water in the air. The trip was an experience on itself also, people from China, India, Latin America, Europe made part of this multi-lingual speaking bus. And we quickly passed through a number of cities in north New York, namely Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse.
Summer time is over and my first year of graduate school is coming to an end. Looking forward to what comes next.
