Niagara falls trip

Hi everyone, this time i'm going to share about my Niagara Falls trip. I went to Niagara Falls with my cousins and my parents.I left Eau Claire on 18th of September,Thursday to my cousins place in Waukesha and next day early morning around five in the morning we left from Waukesha. We drove to Niagara Falls so it was a long drive about twelve hours from waukesha. We have to go through different states to reach Niagara falls from Wisconsin. First from Wisconsin to Illinios and then to Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvenia and finally to NewYork. We reached there around six in the evening the same day.The hotel we stayed at was just near to the falls about ten minutes walk. The same night we went to Niagara Falls. Different colors of lights were flashing through the falls from Canada. It was beautiful and a really amazing view. We could see canada but couldn't go there because we didn't have the visa.It was really a regret to not to visit Canada. Anyways i had fun visiting Niagara Falls.That night there were fireworks too and it looked beautiful.
The next day we viewed the falls from Observation Tower and Maid of the Mist. . From the Observation Tower we can look directly out into the fall of waters or down into the powerfull flood below. Maid of the Mist is actually a kind of boat cruise from which we can view the falls. We have to take a boat from bottom of the Observation Tower where we were given a rain coat. The Maid of the Mist then took us to the base of the Falls for about half an hour. Actually i think there is a two falls in niagara falls, American falls and Horseshoe falls. The boat cruise took us to the base of both the falls. It was the most impressive views of my life I have to say. After the maid of the mist journey we climb the stairs from the base of the place name gorge just next to the bottom of Observation Tower to Crow's nest where we got wet by the spary of the water fall.
Well after that we explore the city for a while and headed back to Waukesha. Lastly I would like to say that it was the one of the best experience of my life.

Sayo nara!

Places i've been in US since i've been here

It's been almost seven weeks i've been to US. Before the orientation week i have spend my time meeting my cousins in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis. I was very pleased to meet all my cousins after a long time. I liked all the city i had been in US.
In chicago i really had a great time there. It was a one day tour so i took a touring bus.I took a bus from Sears Towers and went to Millenium Park, explored the park for a while and headed to navy pier.I spend more time there viewing places and goin on a cruise in lake michigan. Skyline view was the greatest one for me.Touring around the Chicago downtown was awesome with all the building, traffic and busy people walking. Well was planning to go to other place too but i didn't had much time.
Minneapolis was amazing, actually i had a night tour with my friends.We went to a bar called drinks,the place was too crowded but i loved it. Had some drinks, played pool, and met some new people out their and had a dance. We walked around for a while in the city and went to one of the friends apartment. We spend whole night there playing games and had a karaoke night too.Lastly i would just say it was awesome in Minneapolis.
In Milwaukee I went to a Museum, Malls in downtown. I'm not more kind of Museum person but went with my cousins. We went to bradford beach on Lake Michigan in Milwaukee. Lake michigan borders three states Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan. It was fun in the beach playing volleyball. Actually I went twice in the beach just to play volleyball and explore the place.
This weekend i had gone to Niagara falls which was amazing, awesome, really don't have a word to describe.Trip about niagara falls and experience in Eau claire will be in my next blog because i wanna leave something to talk about in my next blog. so see you guys till then .. Adios
