Nomad: Niagara Falls

when you are stuck in NYC over any holiday, the one thing on your mind is usually, "Get Me Out of Here...". Thanksgiving weekend we were stuck here in the city - we spent Thanksgiving day with friends, and then we decided to rent a car and drive up to Niagara Falls. neither of us had been there, and we thought it would make a wonderful road trip.

we started off on our journey driving through the Catskills and eventually making our way into Niagara. i was a bit surprised to see the casino's there, and the Canadian side looked like a small Vegas. we stayed in a cheap roadside motel (which happened to be one of the cleanest places we've stayed), and started our trek early the next morning. i was surprised to see the American side look so run down, but once we crossed the boarder (you need your passport) the Canadian side was like a breath of fresh air - clean streets, nice people, and it was open to the public - The falls were so much more visible, and breathtaking. hope you enjoy the photos...
