Niagara-on-the-Lake and Niagara Falls
I drove up to Niagara-on-the-Lake in Canada, with two friends,
Stephanie and Newman. We stayed in a very nice B&B. We explored
the little town, which is 20 minutes north of Niagra Falls, and then
next day went to Niagara Falls, still on the Canadian side. It's all
quite pretty and the Falls are always impressive. I did a hand-off
to a friend of Stephanie's, who then brought them north to Toronto
to continue their vacation visiting friends and family, and I headed back home.

Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada
Niagara-on-the-Lake is a small town in Ontario, Canada on the
Niagara peninsula (actually an isthmus separating Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario). It's about 20 minutes north of Niagara Falls and
has a small residential area and is a tourist destination. It's
quite pretty and in May had plenty of people around but didn't
feel super-crowded. Apparently it is quite busy in the summer.

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
We drove down to Niagara Falls on Wednesday morning and wandered around
for an hour or two. We didn't have time to do anything organized, like
a tour, but seeing the falls was pretty cool, and the weather was nice.
