    Niagara Falls

    Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

    Dear Readers,

    For the past few days, we have been enjoying the beautiful Niagara falls from the Canadian side. We stayed at the Skyline Hotel and from there we were able to walk to the falls and other major tourist attractions. The first night we all went out and had a great time riding the rides and seeing the falls which were lit up by all these magnificent colors. The next morning we went to meet a girl named Jessica  Droujko, who is thinking about coming to the New River Academy for the second semester. Her father owns the Niagara Helicopter Tours that flies people over Niagara falls. We were planning on taking a helicopter ride but are plans were cancelled on account of the wether. Instead, we took a tour of the helicopters. Following that, by the hospitality of the Droujkos, we were treated to a free tour of the city, including the wax museum, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum and Ripley’s Moving Theater. Finally, we went back to the helicopter pads where we ate a complimentary Helicpoter Cafe lunch.

    My school year

    Thats me on corner wave of the Ottawa River

    Thats me on corner wave of the Ottawa River

    The drive up to Canada was the worst drive of my life! But the drive was well worth it. We arrived at the border around 11:00 am. We made it to the cabin at about 3:00. I will be getting settled in to my new bunk at my new home for the next three weeks.

    My first trip down the Ottawa was such an adrenaline rush. I have learned so much on this trip and in the past couple of days with my new school. The river up here has some of the best and biggest water I have been in since the Gualey.

    I hope that with my upcoming school year I can run a lot more whitewater then before.
