The Grand Slam

Tudo comecou quando eu decidi que queria fechar os 4 Grand Slams de Tennis. Como ja tinha assistido os 3 outros, Australia, French Open e Wimbledon - so faltava o US Open. Como a Australia e longe de tudo decidimos que alem de New York iriamos tambem conhecer o Alaska e o Canada. At this time, we are going to New York to see the US Open tennis. After that we will have been to the 4 Grand Slams Tennis. We take advantage of our trip and visit Alaska, Canada and the famous Grand Canyon.

Niagara Falls and The maid of the mist

Niagara Falls is one of Canada's top tourist destinations, drawing over 13 million people annually.

The falls themselves are certainly impressive, particularly the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.

The US side of the falls, the pretty Bridal Veils falls crashes onto mammoth rocks that have fallen due to erosion.

Pronto para entrar no barco.

Preparing to enter the boat.

Peter as well.

The boat holds at least 100 people at $14 canadian a pop.

The grander, more powerful Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side, plunges into the Maid of the Mist pool, which is indeed misty and clouds the views of the falls from afar.
