Niagara Falls, Ontario

Finally arrived in Niagara Falls, the best city ever. The city was named after a curved water fall. I did not get the point of watching water fall down on some rocks at first, but it's much more interesting actually to see it. From the viewing areas you can feel the mist trickle against your face. There is also an American water fall, but it's not as interesting. And not even all the water flows down, because a portion of the water supply is diverted to a hydro plant. My brother, father and I decided to ride the Maid of the Mist. We boarded on the docks of the American falls, then a vessel takes you to the basin of the Horseshoe falls. I got so wet even while wearing a souvenir water jacket.
Niagara Falls is also home to Clifton Hill. Clifton Hill has a casino (where my parents lost $100.00) Haunted Houses, Arcades, Museums and a Ferris Wheel. Clifton Hill is my favourite part of the road trip so far. My brother and I went into a haunted house, but I forget the name. First we had to walk through a tunnel with creepy sound effects. I found it to be very fourth gradish. But we got disoriented, and John got scared. We had to climb under something that I could not that I could not really see (it was really dark.) As you are climbing under something grabs at you, which freaked me out. When John climbed under he screamed in terror.
