Canada Jacuzzi Hotels
We've only been to Canada a couple of times, but we sure did enjoy every second we were there, and we always think about going back some day.
However, our first trip to Canada was to Beauce, Quebec to do some goldpanning.
Our second trip was to Niagara on the Lake to photograph our friends wedding. This is when we took in the sights of Niagara Falls, from the Canada side of the Falls.
We enjoyed every second we were at Niagara on the Lake, even though we stayed with friends in St. Catherines.
Niagara-on-the-Lake
It is so scenic, and the downtown area was full of little shops you could browse. Hope you enjoy our pictures.
Fort
George, Niagara Canada
Unfortunately, we didn't get to tour the inside, but just walking around and marveling at the structure, scenic views, and old cannons, was enough to satisfy us.
Beauce,
Quebec
We were invited to do some gold panning in Beauceville, located in the Beauce Valley in Quebec. We went with a club called the Goldminers of
New England out of Athol, MA.

Hotels
A variety of popular hotels in Quebec, and there sure are a lot of them. It's important to plan your trip ahead of time. That makes for a lot less things to think about, and more time to enjoy yourself.

Clifton Hill
Clifton Hill is the major tourist promenade in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The street is in close proximity to Niagara Falls and the Niagara River. It leads from River Road on the Niagara Parkway to intersect with Victoria Avenue. The street contains a number of gift shops, wax museums, haunted houses, restaurants, hotels and themed attractions including Ripley's Believe It or Not! and 4D Moving Theatre, the Guinness World Records Museum and the nearby Louis Tussaud's Waxworks.
The typically bustling area is often regarded as a tourist trap by local residents and is thus often avoided due high pedestrian and vehicle traffic. For visitors, particularly families and teenagers, it is a major amusement area and center for night life.
