Now that I'm up here in Ottawa, I have internet access and can add some details about my trip up here. We left early Sunday morning, driving through many green valleys and picturesque run-down victorian-style towns. We stayed in a Pennsylvania state park. The next day, we got up early and drove through New York, which I found to be not nearly as pretty as the southern Pennsylvania farmlands, until we reached Buffalo and the Niagara Falls region. We camped at Niagara Falls State Park, which has many sites right on the edge of Lake Ontario. At night, we could just barely make out the Toronto skyline from across the bay.
Of course, we rode the Maid of the Mist, which is almost like those boat shows on TV where the captain is getting soaked while the ship rocks back and forth. It was an amazing experience and all together beautiful. The Canadian Horseshoe Falls are much prettier, yet the American side of the falls is much more peaceful, less crowded, and less tourist-y.
