Niagara

After a couple of awe-inspiring days in NYC, we left the city for Niagara. We arrived at the airport to get our car at around 10 am but somehow National didn't cleaned/vacuumed our car yet. We had to wait there for like 45 minutes under the hot sun. NYC to Niagara is about 8 hours not including stops. So by the looks of it, we would be arriving at 7 if we hadn't stop, but the problem was he had to stop for lunch and gas and going to the loo. At 7 the whole place would be so dark that only we couldn't see anything at all and we would ended up with frustation as that was the only time in our lives that we had the chance to go and watch one of the wonders of the world, the Niagara Falls.

We knew that if we didn't do something only a miracle would get us there in time. So, Nafis being the 'Speed Freak' that he is, took the responsibility of driving our compact car as fast as he could. One could call him man of the day as he got us just as the sun was about to set. We were so busy taking pictures of the first part of the falls that we didn't realized there was a bigger one that lies ahead. It was the one that made people stare at it with awe, the reason why people were so eager to see how immense Niagara Falls is.

It was me who saw there was another, of God's creations that was so ravishingly stunning it left us staring at it; speechless. It was huge. It was like the ocean and the water flowed toward one end and went downward in a rapid descent by the force of gravity. It was so amazing how gigantic the waterfall was. Unfortunately it was already dark and we tried taking pictures but every single one of them didn't turn out good. We could only buy postcards.

We were really disappointed and hungry and as we were going out of the waterfall area we found a Muslim stall that sold Halal food. They had chicken shawarma, kebabs and everything you can think of. We hadn't had any chicken for the last couple of days. It was the perfect cure to our sorrow. We left Niagara with a mixture of sadness and satisfaction; the chicken was awesome man. It was another 9 hours to DC.
