George Bailey blogs in his January 28, 2016 post, entitled, "Niagara Falls Negative Ions," that Niagara Falls is the world's largest negative ion generator.
He writes, "Have you ever heard of these ions? Well, let me tell you about them. Lots of rushing water creates these negative ions (they're good guys).These negative ions some folks say account for the positive feelings you get when you’re near the water. It’s like how you feel when you’re at the beach, or walking in a gentle rain.
Fred Soyka in his book, The Ion Effect (1977) says, “Niagara Falls is the most stupendous neg-ion generator in the world and these neg-ions create a sense of well-being. It may be the reason why Niagara Falls has been a paradise for honeymooners for almost as long as the area has been accessible."

The day was filled with good feelings.
After leaving the hotel in NY we ventured across the Rainbow Bridge and into Canada. We were able to check into the Marriott very early and went to the room on the 24th floor to cast our gaze at the Falls.
We got in the car and drove to St. Catharine's, Ontario on the shores of Lake Ontario. It was there in St. Catharine's on September 12, 1952 that Neal Peart was born and then raised. It was necessary we make a visit to Lakeside Park, and we did. We traveled around Port Delhousie looking at gulls and sailboats and staring at the endless horizon of water that is Lake Ontario. We ate lunch at the Kilt and Clover, then headed back to Niagara to visit the Falls close up on the Canadian side.
Once we got back to Niagara we hopped on the Blue Line for WeGo and down to the Falls we went. What follows is a major photo dump. No words or captions. Just photos.

Dinner at the hotel overlooking the Falls. Fireworks for five minutes at 10pm.
There were plenty of negative ions floating around throughout the day. I especially enjoyed the trip to Port Delhousie, but the Falls are awe-inspiring. Truly inspiring.
There were plenty of Negative Ions to go around.
Peace and Love,
