Maid of the Mist Niagara falls

Post by Greg_Cornish »

My wife and her friend, bother from Rochester, NY had never taken the famous Maid of the Mist boat ride to the base of Niagara Falls. They finally did five years ago. They were the first in line. My wife is 5'7" and her friend Tracy is about 53 and 110 lb soaking wet. All of the other passengers behind them were Japanese Tourists.

They started on the boat and Tracy slowly ambled on and they heard a rush and yelling behind them. Barbara was pushed along by the tourists and saw her friend Tracy about to be crushed to the floor. She reached out and grabbed her collar, held her up and pulled her along as fast as they could. All the Japanese rushed to the rail at a dead run.

Barbara and Tracy were pushed around the entire voyage of an hour. She thought the Japanese were rude. I think she just didn't understand their culture expressed well in this Youtube video.
