Back to the Falls

After driving by Niagara Falls on my way home from West Virginia last week, I realized that I still had not taken my friend Chuck to see them.... she had moved to Toronto from the Philippines over the summer and I had promised to take her.... unfortunately, I've been a bit toxic with my life in general that my promise remained unfulfilled, until today.....

Wow! You took those breath-taking pictures well. Gusto ko rin pumunta dyan. Hmm, they call it Rainbow Bridge because parating may rainbow, right? haha. I wonder if there's a pot of gold, too!

Btw, we're going to trek in Mt Pinatubo on the 28th. I hope we'll be able to reach the top so I can get a great shot of its crater. And, of course, I'll show it to you. :D

Have a great day/good night, Kuya Angelo. :D

Mel: Thanks Mel, just let me know when you are in town. You got it! There's always a rainbow.... I'd be kinda scared to look for the pot of gold, the water will either freeze you or crush you :)

Oh, I can't wait to see your pics of Mt. Pinatubo!

Haze: Salut Haze! Oui immpressionant indeed, no matter how many times I see the place, I'm always still at awe of them. If you and the family come here just let me know :) Oh and yes you'll get wet near the Canadian Falls especially if you go on the boat or in the tunnels at the bottom of the Falls.

Ghee: Thanks Ghee, ya there's always a rainbow at the Falls, at least everytime I've ever been there's always one? The Casino is okay, it's no Las Vegas or Atlantic City though :) We only have 2 of them on the Canadian side. Have a great weekend too Ghee, Nermal says Meeooow!
