    Wow, I LOVED this vlog, Sojourner! 😃 I really appreciate your attention to detail and focus on minority-owned sights, sounds and eats, when available. The train details were so helpful. The Niagara Falls activities were so cool and adventurous. Wonderful content!

    I'm glad you made it up here. Hubby and I have often been to Niagara Falls, my first 6 years we lived close enough for day trips (in the 60s, the caves were free to explore, decked out in the yellow Macintosh rain gear). In January, we're going to be taking the Maple Leaf from Niagara Falls (much less expensive than from Toronto) for an MSC cruise departing and arriving back in New York and back north again. If you're doing this trip again, and you've kept the Presto card, take the Go Train. It's definitely less expensive, $18.09 to or from Toronto, and easy access online to check the schedules. We're actually taking it from Barrie to Toronto, a few hours later, the train to Niagara Falls (hubby doesn't like the bus 😄), staying overnight and catching the Maple Leaf at a reasonable hour.

    You really packed in a lot! When I went to Niagara Falls as a grad student in Albany, NY (also took the train), I enjoyed myself but I didn't do half as much as you did. Looks like a blast. And I love Toronto, it's my favorite city. Kensington Market is my favorite cool neighborhood there.
