Yes, I went to the Falls today and played tourist. The Falls were absolutely beautiful, but I was a little disappointed at the commercialism. The last few pictures show the food and souvenir vendors, parked right outside the State Park to catch as much tourist dollars as they can. I even saw a guy playing Robert DeNiro for tips.
No, I didn't go to the Cave of the Winds. Wet stairs and my cane didn't seem to be a good mix. I also didn't ride the Maid of the Mist. The lines were too long and I had more fun standing on top and shooting pictures of her from above, lined with rainbows.
All in all, it was a great day to see a beautiful natural wonder, but I don't see myself going back. I really believe I'm turning into a traveller, and not a tourist. I had more fun at the Jell-o museum yesterday. But I came, I saw and I played tourist. I was happy to come home to my crew.
Enjoy the pictures!
