@Lou Ann, Nice picture... the closest I have ever been to the Niagara falls was when I went to Toronto in 94 I think...

If I contemplate it, though, I would have to say that the use of "eat humble pie" is strong, but "eat crow" is even stronger.....
Toronto is quite close to the Falls... The river is a bit longer than people realize, connecting Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. There is a large island in the river (Grand Island) with about 18,000 people living there. I have friends there who have a small boat and we go for rides all the time...
