    ...Anywhere but Clifton Hill (which I consider an abomination) is a good place to strut your kilts at Niagara.

    I totally agree with that statement. I was there about 3 years ago. My cuz from California was visiting prior to shipping out to Iraq. He never had been east before. He said he wanted to see Niagaria Falls. It used to be fun with the wax museums. We all stood and looked with open mouths, could not believe how ugly it looked and it was actually dirty ( I did not think dirt existed in Canada!!). We told him sorry, we did not know it would look like this. We did do the behind the falls tour, i had never done it either and it was great!!


    I will have to check out the gorge sometime! I don't mind walking at all...

    I have to agree with Rick's comment about the acceptance here in Canada. I have worn my kilt with nary a negative glance! (Even at a small town fall fair!)
    Niagara on the Lake is a beautiful place, and you can spend lots of time (and money) there. The Falls, on the other hand, has changed a lot since I was a kid. Clifton Hill was always flashy, but nothing like the mini-Vegas that they are putting on now! The Niagara Parks Commission does a great job all along the Niagara River. Come up and check it out! If we get a few people together, I am only an hour away and will gladly make the trek to raise a pint with some fellow XMarkers!

    Sounds like a plan Stan - perhaps when the Spring thaw comes.

    Cheers
