~Niagara Falls, Niagara on the lake....and more!~

While we were still in Niagara Falls we stopped off at Rossi Glass and watched them doing glass blowing.   It was very interesting.  What an amazing talent these guys have.

While we were watching,  the guys made this bowl with fluted edges that would sell for $98.

Three kms below the falls, an aerocar travels on a 549 m long cable over the Niagara Gorge -y i k e s ........no thank you!!!!!

This is the floral clock.

This is the 200th year of the War of 1812.  Military commander Sir Isaac Brock - a legendary figure -  is remembered here.  At Queenston Heights, Brock routed American forces, but died in battle.

Laura Secord is the famous Canadian Heroine whose famous 30km walk from Queenston to Beaver Dam in 1813 saved the British from American attack.

Beautiful views en route to Niagara on the Lake.   The houses were incredible and there were many vineyards.

Niagara on the Lake was originally known as Newark, and was Upper Canada's first capital.  This is the famous Prince of Wales Hotel.
