... br><br>· With all of the original parliamentarians and government being situated here, there are numerous 19th century residences and buildings worth viewing. <br><br>Things we Learned:<br><br>· The Trent-Severn Waterway (towards Georgian Bay) and the Rideau Canal (heading towards Ottawa) start near here. The TSW is 386 km long, has 36 conventional locks, two sets of flight locks, two ...

... und so sind wir da hin gegangen und ich muss sagen,d ass es sich gelohnt hat. Dabei handelte es sich um eine Licktprojektion auf dem Centre Block des Parliament begleitet von Musik und Texten. Ich weiss zwar nicht, was das Thema dieses Jahr war, aber es war ein bisschen wie eine Kanada-Gehirnwaesche, das sie unzaehlige Male Kanada erwaehnt haben. Aber die Projetion war unerwartet scharf und gut zu sehen!<br><br>Nach diesem langen Tag gings dann nur noch ab nach Hause.<br> <br> <br> 

... to take the girl on the lawn with you when you go". <br><br>The park on the island is going to be beautiful when the town is done working on it. We sort of took over the pavillion. We streched out our mattress pads to sit on to eat and then took naps. Carmen took out her sleeping bag for the sun to dry up the moisture. A cop drove by and looked at us weird and drove off, Alexis thinks some ...

... all the towns/cities in Canada have outside patios!) Taking a look at Kingston from the visitors and downtown development perspective, it needs some sprucing up. Litter was a major problem and unkempt green spaces did not add to the ambiance. On a positive note, our waiter was very friendly and was a good spokesperson for general information about the colleges and ...

... and clear views of the lake.  We were seeking out the Penitentiary Prison, a tiny building giving the history of jails through the ages - sizes of cells, controlling methods and how the inmates made their weapons. Not quite Alcatraz but the kids enjoyed it.<br><br>After this riveting experience we decided it was time to eat and we joined one of Jo's friends Wendy at the local steak restaurant. We were filling ...

... homes on them too with enough room for a small deck and a place to tie up the boat. It appeared (from the commentary) that the waters are full of ship wrecks, nearly every where we went there was a wreck underneath us - **** sailors. <br><br>On our return we chatted to a family of Presbyterians. The women were dressed in simple, modest dresses with little caps of material on their heads.  I was interested as they ...

... very slippery and it was dry. I wouldn't attempt to walk on them if they were wet. The hike back down was almost as challenging. We took the shortest and therefore the steepest trail to the crags. It was incredibly steep switchback after switchback. L was impressed that I jogged part of the way down. Wasn't hard of course as going up, but I wanted to try it. From there we went to Cannongate Tollbooth (free admission). Fascinating museum which gave us ...

... door, and are very nice. This place just has a very good vibe. Off to explore. We walked most of the walls around the city. It's shameful that we humans can be so mean and cruel to one another that we use to feel the need to fortify the places we lived. I guess we still often have walls, there just not made out of stone and mortar anymore. We went to the market behind the shambles, but didn't get ...

... m tired all ready. The house is a disaster, and I'm hoping to get some of it at least not disgusting, but we'll see how long my energy lasts. Oh yeah, and we planted seed in the backyard yesterday, so the dogs have to go out front. No problem for River, but Dagmar thinks we are being cruel for sport. She refuses to go to the bathroom, and will apparently burst while waiting to relieve herself in the backyard. I know I love to travel, but on days like today I wonder why.

... though I can't do it all. Just being there will be awesome. I'm planning to take an insane amount of pictures. I hope I can get somewhere to unload my photos from my camera and stick them on a CD or something. I know I'm going to run out of room. I'm taking my two gig card and my one gig. This trip's going to be awesome. I can't wait.
