Buffalo Wings to Thousand Island Sauce

06 October 2006 - Thousand Islands
07 October 2006 - Niagara Falls
08 October 2006 - Washington DC and Philly

Hey hey hey!! haa, went on a vacation over the weekend. It was really really fun man. Went over to Thousand Island first. It was a long bus ride up and god knows how many was that. Apparently, there are altogether 1800 islands and that's why its called Thousand Islands. Haa, and the benchmark used is that any flat piece of ground with 2 trees on the sea is considered an island. Yup, not a tree less. And the famous thousand island salad sauce you guys used back home.. you guess it, its named after this place. Apparently according to the guide, there was a chef who have forgotten to bring the salad sauce to one of the island. In order to serve the salad to the guests, he just conjured up something and the guests love it and there you go, thousand island sauce. After a nice boat ride around thousand islands, we stayed over at a hotel at Buffalo. Haa and no prize for guessing this right. Buffalo wings orignate from this town.

Pretty cool pose. Haa

Next stop was Niagara Falls. Whoa...this is da bomb of the trip man! We are right at the borders and only a small bridge connects US to Canada. It is totally breathtaking man... Apparently there is 3 falls. The Horse shoe fall that belongs to Canada, the American Fall and there's a tiny one known as the bridal veil fall. We took a boat ride through all the falls. You could just feel the sheer ferocity of the fall. It was a terrific experience...marvellous..and running out of superlatives to describe it.

Horse Shoe Fall.

Finally, on the last day we stop by Washington DC and Philly before heading back to NY.
