STOPPING OVER AT THE NIAGARA ON THE LAKE...

Niagara-on-the Lake is the last place to visit in our tour.

This town is a beautiful, quiet town in the Niagara Penninsula. My daughter told me she and her husband spent their honeymoon in this hamlet which is quiet but gorgeous, full of flowering shrubs, tree-lined boulevards and friendly, smiling people. This is one town that does not believe in progress for progress sake. The townspeople prefer to remain "backwards" and now tourists from all over the world come to visit this place owned by the "backward" people. No bus lines, no factories ( thanks God!).. There is a 5 star hotel housed in a building that must have been built ( and never expanded ) since the 18th century.

A live theatre called Shaw Theatre is one of the main attractions of this town. Beyond its fringes are vineyards producing grapes used for winemaking.

If you are sick of city life, this is one village you should check out, and you will be happy for it! ---#
