    The view or two from my "office"

    We did Niagara Falls on Wednesday and strip away the kitsch, the Falls was well worth the visit.

There's a bucket load of local beers to choose from and to help decide, they do free tasters - got eight decent shots of beer for nuffin! Food was excellent, typical pub gun but tasty and generous.
