During the long weekend of Washington's Birthday, February 22, we were able to visit the Niagara falls. Kumudu from Canada and Chinthaka from Bowling Green Ohio (He's in some kind of control group according to Kumudu) both drove there while Madura and I caught a Greyhound. It took us about 11 hours to get to the Falls. Although the bus ride itself was not that bad, after 11 hours we'd had enough of that!
There was a big snowstorm when we got off the bus but lucky the hotel we booked was just a few meters away. Although the hotel was nothing fancy it was located very close to the Falls, and in winter that really helps!
The picture below this is Nagara falls at night with the extra lighting to make it more exciting see. The colors change every few minutes so you wont get bored of it. It actually looked much nicer than what I was able to capture in my Canon S1 IS. A tripod would have helped, but maybe I had the settings messed up?
Here are the nut cases who decided to meet up at the falls during wintertime.
Chinthaka and, Kumudu are the guys in front and Madura, me in the back. Somehow I think someone else is missing from this group photo.. hmm.. maybe the cold got to my head and I was imagining things.
We also went to a Casino called Seneca. It was the first time I've ever been to one. I think it was actually the first time for everyone. We all ended up loosing $5 each. Chinthaka was on a roll one time but then he too joined the rest of us in the end. No beginners luck there!
