Responsible Alert Driving ~ Transcontinental Abolitionist Road Trip
DAY 4        8/1/2010

We end up arriving in Niagra at dusk.  Never having been before, we thought we’d missed out opportunity to see the falls.  Then, as I looked up images online, I discovered that the Canadians infuse the falls with colored flood light!  We knew we were in for a treat!

ASK A LOCAL
When you get to a destination, always ask a local about special events, sites, and deals.
When I asked a local--which was easy, since he was at an information counter!--about cheap ice cream and other events, he gave directions to an ice cream stand and pointed out on a map the best vantage points for viewing the FIREWORKS SHOW, scheduled to begin in thirty-five minutes!

NIAGRA FALLS at NIGHT
Using our inside information, we avoided the three-dollar tourist popcicles and headed for the ice cream stand two blocks away.  There we invested the ten dollars saved earlier into ice cream cones for the whole group!  These were so good and fun on our walk through the state park on a warm summer evening.

FIREWORKS
Licking ice cream cones and laughing though the park with water fall mist in the air, we arrived at the falls seven minutes before the fireworks show began!
