One night after going out and shooting some pool at a local bar my boyfriend decided that we should take a trip up to Niagara Falls. We got into my little white soft top Mitsubishi eclipse, Joe my boyfriend, Justin his friend, and myself. Let’s just say it was a tight fit seeing my boyfriend is six-two. Plus his friend is almost as tall and what polite people would say bigger boned. We’re in one of the coldest places in the world, well at least it felt like it, Buffalo New York. Buffalo is right on the edge of The Great Lake Erie and is about twenty minutes from Niagara Falls. There was about a foot of pure white snow and the radiant sun had just gone down leaving the sky with small rays of light and you could still see some of the gorgeous sunset. Buffalo in the winter is not the loveliest places in the world. But if you happen to be young and in love your heart will take you anywhere. Which is why I was in New York even though I hate the state that is where my boyfriend used to reside. I say used to because he has since moved to Pennsylvania and now he is a changed man.
Anyhow the three of us started the drive from a little bar called Macaroons to The Falls. Using our phone for navigation and still ended up getting lost. At that point finally we asked someone for directions and arrived at The Falls around thirty minutes later. We drove around for about five minutes before founding a parking spot.
I hesitated as I opened the car door for I knew that it was not very pleasant outside. As I got out of the car I felt the cold seep into my bones and I started to shiver. The wind howled and nipped my nose, and ears, turning them a brilliant cherry red. I could hear the loud rushing sound of water in the distance. And the streets wher...

...oe had even given me his jacket and now both of us were shivering without relent. We trekked through the dark desolate park back to my small car. Leaving the splendid Falls for a warmer day to return to. We walked promptly huddled against one another to keep warm and protect our bodies from the wind. Upon reaching the car I could not feel my nose, ears, face, hands, or toes anymore. I jumped in the car never so happy to be inside the vehicle. We sat for a few minutes to let the car warm up so we could defrost ourselves enough to make the long drive home.
The cold was almost unbearable but if we had not ventured out on this cold night I would never been able to experience something so breathtaking. I hope to return to The Falls again next Christmas but next time I will dress a little warmer and be sure to take some pictures to capture my unforgettable experience.
