Niagra Falls

Niagara Falls
What sight holds one of the largest hydroelectric plants in the world? Niagara Falls is where this plant is located. It was near the end of July when I stood there looking out across the falls. I was with my best friend Erika, her mom, dad, and her grandma. This sight took us a dreaded seven-hour car ride through the loud echoing rain to get to.

Did you know six out of eleven people rode over the falls in barrels and survived? Yes, that is a true fact, the people in the exhilarating IMAX movie informed our tour group about this fact. Once the movie was done, we rode on a big blue and white tour bus down to a naturally made whirlpool. This whirlpool is one of the only whirlpools that changes directions at night.
Then the next two stops on our tour through the falls were the Maid of the Mist and The Cave of Winds. At these two attractions is where the depressing trouble began. Our tour guide, Art, realized we would be getting drenched on both of these attractions that Erika and I wouldn’t be able to ride because of our booties. We were determined to ride, so we improvised with whatever was around us. We searched everywhere trying to find something we could us...
