Canada in a Day


This is me and dad before we hopped in barrels atop Niagara Falls in Canada. Below is a closer look of the falls. Dad is grinning with anticipation. We arrived in Canada, waving passports and thinking that we would roam around and enjoy the sites to see. Dad's smile in these pictures tells you that we didn't just roam around. Nope! We went to experience The Fury, which turned out to be a 4-D educational movie-like experience. We learned about the formation of the falls. Or should I say the ongoing evolution of the falls? Our tickets to The Fury gave us priority passes to the journey underneath the falls. This is where you get your picture taken and walk through tunnels and out onto patios where you are sprayed by the mists of the falling, crashing water, which nearly engulfs the entire horseshoe amphitheatre that is Niagara Falls. The mist makes it hard to see the attraction as a whole. It also makes it hard to take pictures at the base of the fall, especially if your camera is not waterproof. Me and Dad took pictures anyway. Here's dad with the ship, the lady of the mist behind him. This was taken before we found soaked treasure.

After taking pictures a third of the way down the falls and taking the elevator back up to civilization - or touristnation, we snap a few pictures and return to the car, ready to eat dinner and watch some movies.
Me and dad hit the grocery store. Then we enter the grocery store and buy some groceries before leaving. The groceries are mostly for our dinner of sweet-potato-treated burritos and lime-treated Coronas. We enjoy these over a Michel Gondry film and a film with Nicolas Cage in it. Submit guesses by commenting on this post! The winner will receive a secret magical prize.

This was most of our day today! Although dad's day was significantly longer...I slept in, I think in part due to the flu shots I received.

Stay tuned for one more weekend banana-free-bananza! ...

Who's your favorite director?! Zhang Yimou did a great job directing the 2008 Olympics ceremonies, but Michel Gondry might just be my favorite director who is still actively film directing right now...

Nate Conroy is my favorite director and film-maker. Unsolicited comment.

It was Con-Air! Or maybe one of the National Treasure movies. Or perhaps The Weatherman. If not, probably another Nick Cage movie!

The Nicolas Cage film was indeed a Nicolas Cage movie, maybe even one that you mentioned. Unfortunately, the secret, magical, potentially invisible prize is only granted for a correct guess for both the Nicolas Cage film and the Michel Gondry film! bwaheehee!
