im on tims computer and was looking for a photo to post... then i checked the 2012 folder and realized it was just a year ago that we visited niagara falls. a year! i was really surprised... somehow it feels like ages ago already. if im not mistaken, we were staying in one of those fancy glass buildings and paid way too much for our stay. but it was so amazing to get to see the falls! and to be able to drive there... now it all seems (and is, ofcourse) so far away!!
here, back home im still debating whether i like the overly used american "excuse me" and the americans that rather move aside more than necessary in order to avoid too close contact with strangers, or the dutch way of just bumping into someone if you dont move quickly enough. i have to admit; i never liked the "excuse me" while in the us and never have been able to utter it myself, but now back home i realize that dutch strangers sometimes get far too close to me and i then still wonder why they dont say "excuse me".
also, broccoli tastes different here. i really liked brocccoli in the usa, but here i like it less. while eating broccoli today, i mentioned this to tim and he agreed!! we couldnt really pinpoint what it was (the taste? or the florets are a little different, maybe smaller, here?), but i was glad not being the only one thinking broccoli is a bit of a disappointment in the netherlands... :)

Very nice shot
Yes I liked it too there, the thunder sound of the waterfalls which you hear from far. Strange about the broccoli, don't know it comes from the Netherlands or from abroad. But I agree it doesn't has much taste here.
Beautiful shot! The light and colors are gorgeous.
It could be the broccoli varieties that are grown or the growing conditions or both. I found butter and potatoes were much tastier in Ireland than in the U.S. We have good grapes in the U.S., or at least on the West Coast, but I had some huge, super delicious ones from Italy when we were in France.
You are lucky to have travelled to be able to see the differences. The glass building that you stayed in while in Niagara Falls look pretty slick!!
