and their
grandson rode the Maid of The Mist and got up close and personal with Niagara Falls. They also saw a beautiful rainbow. July 24, 2011 |
| The Maid of the Mist boat tour of Niagara Falls started at a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Observation Tower and Rainbow Bridge. Then it took the two RV Gypsies and other passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls. | |
| The two RV Gypsies and their grandson boarded the Maid of the Mist and their boat ride began with a view of the observation tower. |

| At this point, the two RV Gypsies were getting very wet, so they put the camera away because it was not a water-proof camera. Then they just relaxed and enjoyed the mist from the falls, as they viewed the Canadian Falls. The return trip to the Observation Tower was was just as wonderful. | |
