A couple of weeks ago I got in my car and drove seven hours to Ontario, Canada. It wasn't the first time I made the trip but the first time it was business; this time I was going on a weekend vacation.
I drove non-stop save for getting something to eat and use the restroom and although I go t there tired, the drive was exciting and fun.
I drove up there with three of my friends and shared the expenses to make it easier to afford. We parked the car on the New York side and crossed the Rainbow Bridge walking into Canada. The immigration officers in Canada were very friendly and welcomed us well. It was a hot summer day and since we didn't bring the car into Canada we walked for hours on end. My feet begged rest and my back a nice and comfortable bed. Ontario is a clean city with a Times Square flair. There are plenty of lights, music, booze, and food. I even had a Cuban cigar.
The falls are magnificent. Just to think that the water has flowed for thousands of years shaping what today we enjoy as a tourist attraction. The park around the falls in New York is beautiful; everything else outside the park is not so pleasant to look at. Hopefully the government allocates some money to the city because it could offer much more than what is offering now.
The drive back was OK. It took longer because we were tired. We also stopped to shop at one of the outlets in Pennsylvania. I hope to make it up there again, even to venture deeper into Canada. I think the people and the country are friendly, and the drinks are much less expensive than in our bars. Another advantage is that you can enjoy a nice Cuban cigar whenever you'd want to; they are not illegal in Canada.
