Tourism, 101

So I've apparently become a very good tourguide. You all know about my wanderings around Clifton Hill with friend from camp (see previous blog about temporary insanity), well the following day, ANOTHER friend from camp (Vanessa) came down to visit me and we also did the Clifton Hill thing. I find it amazing how I feel as though I have now done everything there is to do on Clifton Hill.
I think we did 7 moving theatres, 3 museums, the ferris wheel, visited Hershey's Store, saw the Falls and ate at some point. Speaking of which, I had my very first COMBO MEAL! Usually vegetarians don't know what that is, because most combo meals include meat. Well, I had a combo meal which was a hotdog, french fries and a drink. Now, being that my stomach is not used to such combo-like meals, I was unable to eat all the fries, but the hotdog was to die for. I want to go back, just for the hot dog.
Well, for your enjoyment, here are some pictures of our little journey to the Falls.

































I've been told we look like sisters in these two shots!















CHRISSY

Temporary Insanity

Whether it's a midlife crisis, temporary insanity, a fluke of nature or perhaps me just becoming more of a risktaker, I overcame a fear and went on Niagara Fall's Pile Driver.

(That's what this is).


Oh my goodness, it was the biggest adrenaline rush I think I've ever experienced. I think I opened my eyes for about ten seconds at the top because my friend Greg, who came with me, convinced me the view was magnificent. Oh yeah, it was great alright, and it would have been even better if I didn't know I was going to drop any second. Those moments are the most frightening moments I think anybody can ever experience. Though we didn't really drop, persay, I think the people running the ride knew I was afraid, so they let us down easier than usual. I was grateful.

So the goal of going on Pile Driver was to prepare me for Dropzone at Canada's Wonderland. After Pile Driver, I can honestly say I am not sure Dropzone lays in the near future for a Chrissy Dennis, who's feet are still shaking, and who's pulse is probably still off the charts.
