No internet, no cell phone, no TV: I can take it, if it’s at the Sheraton on the Falls.

My in-laws are recently landed immigrants, and they live with us until they smoothly merge into the Canadian sweet lifestyle.

One of the objects in our house that is a gift from my father in law is a wall clock, so here’s the obligatory “FIL/clock on the wall” joke:

Wife: Dear, this afternoon the big clock fell off the wall. Had it fallen a moment sooner, my father would have been hit on the head.

Husband : That clock has always been slow.

Joke aside, my MIL & FIL were kind enough to babysit, so we can take off for a “sans-souci” weekend at Niagara Falls.

Having seen the Falls about 20 times in the past 5 years as a guide, it was my (and wife’s) first chance to explore outside the beaten path.

We started by setting tent at the Sheraton on the Falls, which offers this view from the 7th floor outdoor pool:

Turning my back, the pool looks like this:
