Happy New Year and hello from Canada! We’re kicking off 2023 with a grand adventure. I’m thrilled that we have the opportunity to live here for a few months as a family, thanks to a work assignment. My love for this country is almost a given (my father is Canadian), plus I fell hard for it while visiting in my twenties. I’ve always wanted to live here, and experiencing it with my children is next level. We crossed at Rainbow Bridge and were then gifted with this sight at Niagara Falls – it felt like kismet. I have a long history with this place, and yet this was my first visit to the falls. That’s a story for another time…one that I’m writing while here. In the meantime, allow me to share this wonder of the world!

The rumors are true…the Canadian side is the best way to experience it. The power is absolutely palpable, and breathtaking. We went on a weekday to avoid the crowds, but winter also helps with that issue, ha. It was a brisk day (albeit mild by Canadian standards) but the sun was shining, hence the rainbow! We walked the length of it, stood in awe, and finished with a visit to the gift shop. There are a lot of other experiences to be had there of course, but having just crossed the border we were anxious to reach our destination in Toronto. We will be living there for about a month and can’t wait to explore all that the city has to offer. I already have a perma-smile seeing the French language everywhere!
