Upon the return of the boat group, we all crossed the pedestrian bridge to the Canadian side of the falls. This was my first time in Canada and I was seriously underwhelmed. It was terrible. As another ride commented, "this is my hell." It felt like we had entered a cheesy amusement park; it was so touristy. We ended up eating at a bar/grill and then I walked back to the American side. The one cool thing about Canada was that the falls were much neater. We had a full on view, which was great.
The fireworks were somewhat of a disappointment as they were only 10 minutes long and there were no cool shapes. Oh well.
Our build day today was also a let down. There was not nearly enough work for everyone, thus I sat under a tree for the majority of the day. It was good, however, to be off the bike seat.
Tonight is mostly free meaning I will journal, read, and sleep. There are only three days left until I get to see my family. I'm so excited!
So far this trip has been a pretty big struggle for me, definitely physically, but mostly mentally. It has confirmed several things for me:
1) I am an Ohio girl (I knew this already).
2) I want to live in Ohio my whole life.
3) I need to be near my family.
4) I am not a long term traveler.
There are more things, but these are the ones that are most highlighted by the fact that I am away from my home and family for 2+ months. This is no easy task and one that I do not ever want to repeat.
