Niagra : When the boat, which carried 100's of blue raincoat clad tourists, took the curve the Horseshoe Falls stood in front of us with its gigantic beauty,the Maid of the mist.American Falls was cool and calm from the boat with a big rainbow, smiling at you.But cave of winds tour which took us near to it made us experience the storm like spray of rushing,cold water.
Was a bit surprised when we landed, to see the presence of Indians there.Couldn't count the no. of Indian hotels at Niagra, Punjabi Dhaba's to South Indian Vegetarian restaurants and all crowded.
Majority of tourists were Indians, probably because Niagra being one of the few safe bet to bring your parents when in US.
That was Niagra, Nature at its best !
New York : Skyscrapers,crowded streets,metros,yellow cabs,times square,nasdaq,statue of Liberty. People form all walks of life, tourists, workers, managers, whites, blacks, Indians, Asians, Europeans just name and you can spot them there.
It was Brazilian day and saw a big band show there.. Brazilian beauties dressed in their national flag dancing through the streets.
Best dialogue was from the tour guide who pointed to the AIG building and said "You can just walk in because, 8 out f every 10 floors are yours" referring to the bailout
That was New York,Capitalism at its best !
Washington D.C. : Calm and quiet city.A sudden feeling of emptiness when you travel from NY to DC.DC is filled with gov. offices,memorials,monuments and museums.Paining legs and the drizzle made it hard to walk around.But it was good to see the no. of US Flags on these monuments and the patriotism flashing on the face of the visitors.
That was Washington D.C, Patriotism at its best !
