It has always sounded so romantic to ride on "Maid of the Mist" to the bottom of the Falls - this iconic "must do" thing at Niagara. Turns out, at least this is what I've been led to believe, that the "Maid of the Mist" is the American tour boat ... while over on the Canadian side we have the less poetically named "HORNBLOWER" to guide us to this place of power and chill wetness. Oh well, life isn't all poetry.
Incredibly warm and sunny afternoon for October 4 - a great day aboard the Hornblower. While not usually one for hitting all of the tourist highlights, I am glad that I took this ride.

| All passengers outfitted with a lovely red rain poncho. And glad for it. |

| Yes, I was really there - not stock photos :) |

The one thing that isn't conveyed is the tremendous SOUND of the thundering water. You can barely hear the Hornblower ...
