Day 30 (26.vii.08) << marius ostrowski's web log

    Someone with a WordPress blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls: …I charged down Clifton Hill towards the river. Yes, there are the falls, I noted grimly, while every single other tourist oohed and aahed, I haven’t come to the wrong country after all, oh aren’t they special, there’s s***loads of water, brilliant,…
