You know those paintings of sunsets with bunch of seagulls around it and you think"I wonder what that really looks like"...well after where I went today I can tell you how it looks....it is incredible.
When you look at post cards of Niagra Falls and you wonder if that sweat it really looks like...or occasionally way it would feel like if you fell over the rim of the lookout area and right down the waterfall and landed super hard on jagged rocks...na normally the first one...anyway.I know that when I lok at these post cards I normally think both.And although the first one seems super gross..it is actually quite beautifully proven wrong..as weird and confusing as that sounds...but I will explain.
We went tot his thing today called Madens of the mist.And this a boat ride right around and almost under Niagra Falls.There are to parts of the falls.The over lapping part of the falls,and then the horseshoe part of the falls.Most of the postcards show the overlapping part of the falls, but the horseshoe is amazing.
You get your tickets,and then you take an elevator up to the top floor,where you walk down this long path to this tent,where they give you these water proof "vests"a.k.a.giant plastic bags.It was super windy there and putting on the plastic bags wasn't necessarily a walk in the park.You first have to unfold the plastic bag and then you have to find the head and try and put it over the baggy sweatshirts you have to wear.Then for some reason the people who designed these plastic bags melted the arms shut.So you have to rip the arms open and then try and put your arms three the ripped bag.Once you get the plastic bag on you go and stand in line ad watch other people stubble to put on there bags.Than of course my parents being who they are...tightened the headstraps and looked like totally mental homeless people who somehow snuck onto this ship.But they were super funny about...and i think they scared some tourists ...anyway.once you get in line and they start boarding the ship you have to shove your way to get a good spot... and i got an excellent spot.right at the front of the ship.And it was beautiful...what I saw..you see at some points it was so windy and we were so close to the falls that you had to close you eyes..or take really quick looks.And all of a sudden,when i could see,there was the painting...the painting of the seagulls...millions of them just soaring right next to us...that was so beautiful.
I cannot tell you on a computer how amazing this was...or if i tried it would take me like 20 pages.If you want to know exactly what I'm talking about...your gonna have to go see it yourself...unless I know you than I can just tell you when I see you haha...anyway...Well,even if i do know you,you should real go see it.it will blow your mind.
