JPL - Jet Propulsion Laboratory - California

 I went on a fantastic tour of JPL / NASA in La Cañada - Flintridge area.  It was a three hour tour - we covered a lot of territory and hiked a lot of stairs.  My body had a wonderful workout, as well as a mental workout.  The work they are accomplishing at JPL is awe-inspiring.  JPL has scaled models of many of their projects on display for the public.  Impressive!!  I highly recommend scheduling a tour if you haven't already experienced it.  And I count it as a workout.

Canada! Oh Canada! Niagara Falls - Epic!!!

OMG!!  Niagara Falls is amazing!!  It was awe-inspiring.  There aren't enough words to describe how wonderfully beautiful it is.  I took many many photos but the one posted here is from the window table at the restaurant second level.  Magical.  Canadians are so proud of there falls, and rightly so.  I'm going to try to post a 12 sec video, so I hope it works. If given the opportunity to see this wondrous sight - do it. We were staying in Toronto downtown area, in late December.  Fairmont Royal York Hotel - Loved it. This is a photo of the hotel when we checked in at 11:00 pm.  Helpful hint they have room service at that hour.  Yay!! The hotel is located across the street from the train station and a few blocks from the CN tower. To get to Niagara Falls, we hiked up to the bus terminal and took a megabus to the falls.  It was reasonably priced. We thought this was cute.  Hiking up to bus terminal, here is an early morning photo of an ice rink.
