We took the shuttle to the Casino--not very far away--because of the bitter cold. With all that moisture the cold just seemed to spike through our coats, so we were happy to shuttle. A spectacular Paul Anka concert entertained us at the Fallsview Casino, with Anka singing his heart out in traditional manner, with lots of various instruments led by a talented band leader. Interspersed were video presentations so artfully integrated as to create a seamless multi-media event. Anka's family were front and centre in these but I noticed how well he preserved their privacy, yet broadcast his pride in and love for them all. A magical night.
The next morning we had a scrumptious breakfast--part of the package deal--and then donned our heavy coats to see the Falls. If you look closely you can see the ice on all the railings, bushes, and trees. In the bright sunshine this sparkled and glistened putting us in a happy place. Well, except for the bitter cold! Hubby had left his hat behind in the room, not such a good decision.
You can see from my attire just how cold it was but the walk was oh so worthwhile doing. I breathed in the chilly invigorating air and felt so blessed to be part of this majesty.
If you look closely here you will see the ice on everything. And the spray is magnificent, isn't it?
This was a refreshing and interesting weekend with lots of food for the soul--no crowds and the shopping was bargain after bargain. We loved it!
