So we donned our rain ponchos and ran to board the boat.
The Lawson's were in Niagara waiting for us when we got there. So we got to hang out with them for a few more days before they headed west for home (Washington). We had a big night out at a local pizza dive called "Goodfellas", which had amazing pizza and wings for cheap!
Later that night we decided to drive over to Canada to see the falls all lit up. Our first trip to Canada!
The Lawson's met up with a park ranger on the US side of the falls while we were in Canada, and found out a little bit more about the falls. Apparently a LOT of people try to commit suicide over by jumping over the falls. Many succeed, but those who don't end their lives have reported that there is something about the falls that "call to them". Creepy! We listened for a while...but we didn't hear any such "calling".
