After a Friday full of surprises, James and me woke up early to get ourself ready to our first trip together. I am super hyper happy with mi amor. He got a birthday cake, a really super authentic tiara (canadian flags, I love them) and INKA KOLA (typical soda from Peru. James went all the way from Windsor to Detroit and got two bottles for me. I just love him so much) and now we are on our way to see for first time in my life Niagara Falls. No one has pay attention to me in this way and all these details just confirm and reconfirm one after each other that he is the one for me. I am in love and this time is for ever!!!!

It was around 3 hours to Niagara Fall from Windsor and during the way, we were laughing and talking about everything. I fed him which all the stuff we have in the car. I really enjoy travelling with him. We stop at Tim Hortons to use the washroom (Here in Canada they call the toilettes like that... plop... James is always saying that I got the wrong word and I should use bathroom if I dont like the word washroom... but in Europe Toilettes is ok.. or not?) and to get a coffee for me, because I was falling asleep and I did not want to sleep at all.

Finally, We arrived to Niagara Falls town, It's very comercial. Japanese people were taking picture like crazy. Suddenly We turned left and on the back of the street I saw the Niagara Falls from the car. It was impressive. We found a cheap place to park and we got some snacks. I was really excited to be there and anxious to walk around.

We walk down this very busy street. For one moment I felt like if I were in U.S.A. all these huge famous stores full of people, for sure got my attention. Something that I have never seen before. THE POWER OF THE AMERICAN INDUSTRY... or something like that.

When we arrived to the falls I couldn't believe that I was actually there. During my high school, I have always listening to a song and sometimes when I go back to Peru, I dance it on parties; The name of the song is ¨El Niagara en Bicicleta¨ by Ju.an Luis Guerra. Never ever in my life, I thought I was going to be there... Travel is my passion and now I have someone who is going to travel around the world with my in 80 years.

We decided to get in the boat and see the falls a little bit closer. So we paid CAN 16.50 for the Maid of the Mist Tickets. We got blue ponchos. I totally looked like a smurf. The boat trip was around 20 minutes. We asked some Pleople to take us some pictures together. We really look good together. We are really good together. We also got very very wet. James more because the poncho didn't cover him all. But me... I was lost on that poncho.... funny.. plop again!!

Definitely, If you go to visit the Niagara Falls you should get in the boat. It's another experience for sure. They are massive when you are down there, something really impressive. I am glad it was James' first time on the boat, too. I told him how could he be there like 4 times and never took a trip in the boat.

After that, we walked around the city, took some crazy pictures in Planet Hollywood, and we got inside of Hershey's store. I felt like in Paradise. My addiction to chocolate is so obvious that I bought strawberries with covered with chocolate. First, I was panic for the price CAN 13,00 for six strawberries. In my mind, I thought that I could have bought like 6 boxes full of strawberries in Lima. But after opened the paper box and saw these huge 16 strawberries full of chocolate my mouth melted away... (not the way I melt when I see James.. but something closed).

James and me were like 5 year old kids eating chocolates without mom's permission. That was delicious too delicious. I am glad I took the risk and ask six strawberries without asking the price. We couldn't finish them. We saved them for the night at Toronto as dessert with some wine

Anyway, after buying 6 affairs to my boyfriend, (Yep, I think at that moment he forgot about me and was too focused on the Strawberries dressed on Chocolate... maybe, I should dress myself on chocolate, hahahaha) we are ready to go to Toronto!! My first big- modern city. Europe was indeed the old continent.

Toronto here we go!!!!!!!!!
