    Oh yeah, the Canadian side of the falls ROCKS! I love it. You were up in the neck of the woods that I'm originally from. :-)
    I used to live in Utica - right off the thruway (90). Goodbyes are always hard and leave you with that hole in the gut feeling.

    Oh gee I almost wanted to cry to see Antine leave as she is a great asset to the videos. Her comfort level showed more relaxed. What a great young lady. Enjoyed the footage of the film. Thanks! Spring, TX

      I agree, she is great. Calm is nice. I have family in The Woodlands, Sugarland, League City and Galveston. Only one house underwater...no flood insurance. :( But, all are safe now.

    I all most passed up Niagara Falls, some said it was not worth seeing. So glad i stopped there i had a lot of fun and the walk to Canada was not bad at all, the views on the Canada side of Niagara Falls was better i thought. Happy you two had fun and loved that camp site. :)

    I'm in NYC, I would have gladly driven Upstate to meet you and Antine and bought you a great meal somewhere. That's okay, that's the life of being on the road right? Antine seems like a great gal. I'm glad she's in your life 😃

  • @GeorgePencilArt
    @GeorgePencilArt 7 років тому

    Food looked great. That's a pretty long drive from Chautauqua to Niagara Falls. I liked both sides of the Falls... the canadian side has gardens and shops and such that are lacking on the usa side. Glad you both enjoyed it. I'm from Rochester! (but not now). Bye bye for now Antine! :'(

    This might be a little too introspective, but: How do you feel about your short visits and passings through states, cities, etc. Do you approach it with a whatever happens is cool with me approach(kind of seems that way)? I would have a hard time going to Montreal for only a few hours. I would feel like I didn't have enough time. Do ever feel that way, or are you satisfied with just going?

    @cattygirl218 7 років тому

    Nate - can you explain a little about where you park in order to walk across the border from US to Canada? Is there parking near whatever that walkway is called? Did try to Google it but not finding a straight up answer. Thanks! Love your channel. Safe travels!

    • @ElementLife
      @ElementLife  7 років тому +1

      Thank you! There are a bunch of parking lots on the US side. We parked in a lot a few blocks from the bridge and then walked over. It was $15 to park for the whole day. If you get there early enough, the Niagara Falls State Park has a large lot that was only $10 for the day. It fills up fast though!
