Hi Marilyn,
    I finally got to the Falls. After an enjoyable time in the Parks
    greenhouse viewing the gorgeous flowers, the humming birds and
    the whydahs, we set off to find the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens
    Conservatory, where 2000 butterflies flit around gawking at the
    gawkers. :-)
    We went further than we've ever gone before, and pulled off at the
    Spanish Aero-car ride (closed for the winter.) There it was, the
    famous cable car that I didn't even know existed. :-)
    As I peered over the restaining wall, I heard a noise like 1000
    toilets flushing...and then I saw the famous Whirlpool Rapids,
    which I hadn't known existed. :-)
    From there, I could barely see the promontory where I had stood on
    the US side and looked down at the whirlpool, which I DID know
    existed!  Yesterday the Whirlpool was not as obviously circular,
    as the force of high spring water created many little eddies around
    the main turbulence.
    And then we finally got to see the butterflies. What a gorgeous end
    to a glorious day!  It was a slightly belated 37th wedding
    anniversary.. and all I wanted to do was rush back to my
    non-functional computer and share it with you. Well, today my
    computer was restored; so here I am, burbling merrily on. :-)
                        ...Sandra...
    PS. We turned back then, but had we continued, we would have seen
    the giant floral clock further along. I guess all those things still
    exist.
