a thanksgiving day in october


As per this post I am making myself an honest lady and giving a brief recount of my trip to Niagara Falls. Of course, we did the touristy thing and rode the Maid of the Mist. You could feel the Falls in more ways than one while while riding the sturdy boat...and yes, we did get wet from head to toe despite the pink ponchos

The next day we drove our rented car into Canada where I must agree the views of the falls were spectacular. And we were surprised to learn it was the Thanksgiving holiday in Canada. We were so delighted to have been seated by the huge glass window overlooking the falls where we were served a traditional, as in American traditional, Thanksgiving meal. Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, roasted root vegetables, pumpkin pie...we ate until we were as full as we were thankful.
