The Maid of the Mist?
In between Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada and Buffalo, NY, USA our two countries share the wonderful and spectacular Niagara Falls. Brave tourists love the maid of the mist tour which operates from both of our respective countries. This charter takes the passengers on a tour that brings the actual falls experience a little closer to them.
This year things are beginning to open up and tourism has resumes. On Canada Day which is July 1st a brand-new attraction launched to the public on the Canadian side which takes tourists through a tunnel and onto a ground level viewing platform of the falls which will be a thrilling experience for all who embark on this new and great attraction in Canada.
The actual views of the falls are wonderful and spectacular as a brave soul can actually view the edge of the falls in a very close proximity on the Canadian side which is always a breath-takingexperience and for those who visit Ontario for the first time, Niagara Falls is usually a destination of choice for visitors during the summer season.
On a recent excursion to the falls, we noticed that many of the covid restrictions and the need to show a vaccine passport have been lifted for all attractions and masking is not a voluntary initiative. Air travel is once again open and the need for humans to travel again has caused incredible stress and delays internationally to try to keep up with the demand and this is certainly causing travel frustration at airports all around the world.
After years of inability to travel, many of us are looking forward to our summer vacations and while many of us will not be on planes, we will certainly be taking a summer road trip or two to enjoy the world, experience some new cuisine, and engage with people once again.
Some of us on our dev team are water farers and we love to get in boating experiences during the summer and some of us are not fans of getting cold and wet and prefer not to venture out into unknown territory, but most of us have been fortunate to experience a boat ride at some point in our lives and we hope that wherever you live, you also have an opportunity to do so.
During creation of the Madani Chronicles we learned about journeys on ships and fabulous tales of hadith that brought the Sahabah towards water and to the coast lines of Ancient Arabia. On one such journey the Sahabah encountered the skeleton of a whale in which they rode their horses within the skeleton that had washed ashore and we totally enjoyed visualizing the experience and learning about the hardship of their quest. We are looking forward to re-creating these environments in a 3D and VR experience and we hope that you’ll have an opportunity to enjoy or creativity on a platform you love.
So many great adventures have been had by all humans throughout civilization and since then invention of the earliest watercrafts, the need to explore new territories and search for food is part of our human tradition despite so little being known about what lies within the depths of the Oceans.
We hope you have the chance to experience a day in the water and we hope you have some wonderful adventures of your own this summer if it is possible and safe to do so where you reside. So many of us have been fortunate to visit Niagara Falls many times with our families over the years and so many great memories can be made with each view and deep inhalation of the mist as we walked along the paths close to Niagara Falls.
We encourage you to take a moment this summer to let it all of the wonderful outdoor experiences sink in. Why not take a moment when you are out in nature this summer to close your eyes and just listen to the sounds, inhale your breaths deeply, and if you are close to the water why not enjoy some of the refreshing mists upon your face and body. We all need to be mindful and if you do have a chance to visit Niagara Falls or a beach or lake in your home town or country then enjoy it. Have a few moments of personal time to reflect, meditate, and breathe as you gaze into and towards the raging waters. We have been through a very tough few years just like all of you and we are grateful to once again have another opportunity to make a great memory, enjoy our community, and the summer time atmosphere this year.
This summer some of us will be visiting Niagara Falls to check out the new viewing platform and we’ll surely post up some pictures on social media in days to come, but for now we simple hope that your days to come are filled with awesome experiences even if you are just having a staycation in your hometown. There is always plenty of great things to do and you can make a super experience on limited budgets anytime and anyplace.
