Hey!

Hello everyone.  Right now I'm in Canada! So, in just over twenty-four hours in Canada, here is what I've seen:

People

About a billion Muslims.  All the Muslim ladies have to cover their heads, and most of them wear saris like Mrs. Gowdamarajan (spelling!?). 

These ladies that covered everything but their eyes.  They were dressed in all black, so that must've been REALLY hot, cause it's not real cool here.  I think they were Muslim.

This one guy who had on black pants, a black trenchcoat, and black sunglasses.  Actually, he looked a bit like John Lennon, and we saw him twice.  O_o

A server at T.G.I. Fridays who sounded just like Griffin from Men In Black Three.

A few Amish families.

The usual assortment of fat people, Americans, tourists, and fat American tourists.

Canadians.*

Places

Niagara Falls.  Really cool.  I heard somewhere-I think it was Griffin that told me, actually- that half the water that goes over the falls doesn't make it to the bottom.  That is REALLY true.  You can see the mist from miles away.  But it's just like, you're walking along, and the weather's terrific, and HOLY CURSE WORDS THAT'S A FREAKIN' HUGE WATERFALL OH CRUD OH CRUD OH CRUD PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!!!!!!!!!

Tourist Traps

There were a lot of these.  Only gonna mention the important ones. 

Around 5 "haunted horror houses" all claiming to be "The scariest in Niagara Falls!"

3 wax museums.  We went in one of them, it was really scary, but really cool.  I'll post pictures later.

A butterfly conservatory.  We went there, and it's really part of a 36-student college!! There was a park around it.  IT WAS SOO COOL!

A bird aviary.  We went there too.  Has anyone been to the zoo when they have the lorikeet feedings? They let you in a big cage and they give you a little cup of this nectar stuff that I guess the birds love, and the birds'll swoop down and land on your arm, or head, or shoulder, and drink the nectar.  Well, this whole place was like that, but without the nectar or the birds swooping down on your arm.  Really cool. I'll post more on that later.  

*Canadians talk like Kansans, but they say, "Eh" more.  

Whew my fingers are tired.  :)
