Slowly I turned...." en http://www.blogsnh.com/drupal/blog_entry/ken_braiterman/niagara_falls_slowly_i_turned <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p>That title is the refrain from a classic burlesque comedy routine that has practically nothing to do with Niagara Falls. But then, the Cave of the Winds at Niagara Falls is not a cave. It&#39;s a wooden catwalk that takes you to the bottom of a waterfall just a few feet above the Niagara River, where the wind and swirling mist are as blinding as a hurricane. There is one connection between the comedy routine and Niagara Falls: If you want to see the entire vista spread out in front of you, you have to stand on the Canadian side, halfway between the top of the Canadian Horseshoe and the bottom of the American Falls. Then you turn slowly 180 degrees to see it all, like I did at dawn on Friday. It inspires awe, especially when you get inside the Falls at the Cave of the Winds, or sail a boat so far into the Horseshoe that you&#39;re surrounded by water on three sides. The boat that took me there is called The Maid of the Mist. Before I get into a few tips for travelers and some Niagara Falls trivia for people with minds as trivial as mine, I want to explore that feeling of awe.</p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.blogsnh.com/drupal/blog_entry/ken_braiterman/niagara_falls_slowly_i_turned">read more</a></p> http://www.blogsnh.com/drupal/blog_entry/ken_braiterman/niagara_falls_slowly_i_turned#comment Concord and around Greater Concord Fri, 23 May 2008 17:21:13 -0400 Ken Braiterman 1400 at http://www.blogsnh.com/drupal
