St. Laurence Seaway - May 2nd, 2011

On May 2nd, on our way home from Niagara Falls,  we stopped in Thorold Ontario to see Lock 4 and Lock 7 of the Welland Canal. This canal is part of the St. Lawrence Seaway, and it raises ships 99.5 meters from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. While we were at Lock 4, we saw two ships passing each other in the lock. You can see them both in these photos. One was the John B. Aird, going upstream, and the other was going downstream. I don’t remember the downstream ship’s name. Look at the cars next to the ship and notice how high the Aird was raised in the lock!

Rock Legends Wax Museum - Niagara Falls Canada

Can you identify these Rock Legends? The Rock Legends Wax Museum was one of the attractions we saw at Niagara Falls recently. We enjoyed it, but some of the Rock Legends portrayed were not exactly for the faint of heart.

Niagara Falls - May 1st 2011

A few quick photos from Niagara Falls. The most serendipitous thing on this trip was the fireworks that happened over the falls while we were on our Ferris-wheel ride. Kathy was so excited! She loves fireworks! Unfortunately the Maid of the Mist was not to open for 2 more days, so we missed that. I saw the point of the delay, there was actually still ice and snow on the ground at the bottom of the falls. If you have never been to Niagara, I encourage you to check it out. There is a lot of touristy stuff if you like that kind of thing, but there are also fun things, like walking along the gorge and getting wet from the falls spray!
