MONDAY IN NIAGARA FALLS

Niagara has a shuttle that leaves from various points around the city, and you can ride it all day for just $6.00. It stops at the campground which is very convenient and I decided to take it in the a.m. since I wanted to see the Falls again. I had visited the tourist attractions when I was in Canada five years ago and did not ride the Maid of the Mist this time. One of the pictures is of passengers boarding the boat in their blue raincoats. It was a very hot, steamy day and I was amazed at the throngs of tourists lining the streets. I heard many different languages being spoken, so I'm assuming there were several different countries represented. I spent a long time watching the amazing Falls, did some shopping, had lunch and then headed for the Niagara Casino. When we registered for the Rally we were given a rebate in Canadian money because of the exchange rate, and what better way to get rid of it! I realize that's not the right mindset, but I'm not a big gambler, don't ever win much and I wanted to see what I could do with $20. I played the 1 cent machines for over an hour and ended up with $22. Not a bad way to spend some time. I ended up spending my Canadian money in a gift shop! I actually had planned to stop at another Casino on the way back to the campground but decided I should quit while I was ahead. The rest of the day was uneventful and I pretty much stayed in the RT in the air conditioning since it was so hot. I enjoyed a walk around the campground once it cooled off a little. I've tried to get some walking in every day and most of the campgrounds have been nice for walking. Tomorrow I will head for home!
