Cave of the Winds!

More like Cave of the MIST!
The day couldn't be complete without famous buffalo wings!

So here we are, again: worn out but happy, still smelling a little like wet dogs after a very busy day.

Once we got done with a great breakfast, we left the hotel to get to the amazing Niagara Falls. Not only did we see them from a famous tour boat called “Maid of the Mist,” but also from a very special observation deck. In fact, this “Hurricane deck,” was pretty much right under the waterfalls (which might explain how we got so wet). In fact -despite our very yellow raincoats- some of us were still wet when we got back to our bus.

Most of us dried under the sun since the weather was fantastic! And while we were drying, we visited a few more view points and took tons of pictures with our new friends. Great times :)

After we said goodbye to the mist at the falls, we went back to the hotel. Some of us just hadn’t had enough of being wet and went straight to the swimming pool; others decided to take a nap, and some were even too exhausted to wake up in time to take the bus… But don’t worry, they could have never missed some original Buffalo wings from Buffalo! They hopped in a taxi and met up with us at the Warehouse restaurant- and right on time to eat!

We ate a lot of great food, played a few rounds on videogames, took some more pictures, and then returned to the hotel for an evening orientation - and here we are. Some have gone swimming, others are just chatting with friends, and we’re updating our group blog, despite having thought we would have never done it. And it has been fun!

So, alla prossima and ja matane :)
