Discover the Falls

And by discover, the Niagara Falls Visitors Bureau means try not to run over any greasy tourists as you attempt to navigate through a clusterfuck* of bad attractions and worse restaurants only to find that the Falls are on display like a flippin’ zoo attraction.
Do I sound upset? I was.
I really wanted to “discover” the falls. Climb something. Follow a narrow twisted path that would slowly reveal this wonder of the world.
If your idea of a romantic getaway is the wax museum and chicken fingers at the Planet Hollywood with a view of people blocking the waterfall, right on.
For everyone else, experiencing all that is Niagara should take no more than 30 seconds. Unless it takes longer for you to find someone you think won’t run away with your camera to snap your picture.
*I don't like that word but it’s really the only way to describe the assault on your senses.
[Niagra Falls, Ontario]
