Something the United States doesn't have...

I've kicked off my 2008 Parkbenching Tour by hitting a couple more cities right here in North America...

Something the United States doesn't have...

Question: What's something Canada has that the United States doesn't have?

Answer: A fantastic view of Niagara Falls!

Not only that, but Canada has turned The Falls into the Ultimate Tourist Trap--maybe not as big as Orlando, but certainly with the most Tourist-traps-per-square-meter... In just a a couple of blocks there are 4 wax museums, 4 haunted houses, an indoor zoo, an indoor water park, endless other money eating "attractions"...

Clearly, the US doesn't have a monopoly on over the top capitalism...

But let's go back to the falls...

Great view.  Gives both a sense of the power and majesty of nature and--further downstream--of man's ingenuity in being able to harness that power...

Now let's cross back to the USA, get the car, and cross back into Canada...
