Every one has some unforgettable moments in his/her life. These are the moments when one feels very happy and don't want those moments to let go. Some thing like this happened with me on my three days tour from Niagara Falls to Philadelphia. It was a great experience and very exciting tour.
The Thousand Islands is the name of an archipelago of islands that straddle the Canada-U.S. border in the Saint Lawrence River. They stretch for about 50 miles (80 km) downstream from Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian islands are in the province of Ontario, the U.S. islands in the state of New York. The islands, which number 1,793 in all, range in size from over 40 square miles (100 km2) to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, to even smaller uninhabited outcroppings of rocks that are home to migratory waterfowl.
We went there by Cruise. It was a wonderful experience. The cruise showed us all the island. Some were very small but some were very big. People has started to live on those islands. Each and every island has its own beauty and quality.
After that we started our journey towards Niagara Falls. We stayed at Holiday inn hotel for the night. It was 130miles away from the Niagara.In the morning we started for Niagara. I was very excited to reach there. We reach there approx 8:30 in the morning. First of all we watched a movie which describes about the myths and other believes related to the history of Niagara Falls. After that we visited to the Niagara Falls.
The Niagara Falls are the most powerful waterfalls in North America. These large waterfalls are situated on the Niagara River, forms the international border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York and forms the southern end of the Niagara Gorge. The falls are 17 miles (27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 75 miles (121 km) south-southeast of Toronto, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York.
Here again we hired a cruise which took us in the middle of the falls, this is called maid of the mist. We felt the shower of that great fall. It was just like to see the heaven. The water was coming down from a great height at a very high speed. We saw Rainbow for two or three times. It was really a magical moment which shows you heaven on the earth.
After that we moved towards the Watkins Glen State Park. This park comes under the Finger Lakes Region.This is the oldest and most famous park of the Finger Lakes State Parks. It was very beautiful and has lots of falls. No one can describe its beauty. It gave the feeling of being in a jungle.
In the morning, we started our journey for Washington DC. Washington DC is the capital of the United States. There we saw many monuments.
Then we visited White House. The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the president of the United States. The White House is made up of six stories: a two-story basement, the ground floor, state floor, second floor, and the third floor. It is made up of white stone. There is a beautiful fountain in front of this.
From White house we proceed towards Lincoln Memorial. Lincoln Memorial is a memorial building built to honor the 16th President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the National Mall, Washington, DC. This is in the form of Greek temple and contains a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln. Daniel Chester French was the sculptor of this statue, the architect of this building was Henry Bacon, and the painter of the interior was Jules Guerin. This Memorial is open to the public 24 hours a day for the whole year except December 25 and is free to visit.
Then we proceed towards Air and Space Museum (NASM). It holds the largest collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft in the world. It was established in 1976. There were many aircraft like: Mercury Friendship 7, Soviet SS-20, Bell X-1, Pioneer H Apollo-Soyuz, Northwest Boeing 747-10B, Lockheed U-2, etc. There were many other sections like earth view, Galaxy view, models for different concepts of air and pressure. It was a nice experience to see so many aircraft at a time.
From Air and Space Museum we went to Philadelphia and saw Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, and statue of George Washington.
After that we saw Liberty Bell. The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American Independence. The bell has been featured on coins and stamps, and its name and image have been widely used by corporations.
This tour was organized by Go To bus tour services. We booked three tickets. The trip was for three days from September 23 to September 25. Our bus was from Edison and it was a connecting bus. We reached to the bus stop at 6 o'clock of morning. Bus started at sharp 6:30. We went to the China Town, NY. There we changed our bus and started our journey to Niagara. Before Niagara the bus went to the 1000 Island. There were approx 50 passengers from different countries in the bus. There were Indians, Chinese, Russians, and Americans. But all lived for three days as they knew each other very well.
