We took a little detour to get to Kingston, drove through Battersea and from there down to Kingston. Kingston is on the Ontario Lake, just were the Saint Lawrence River actually begins. So we got one last glimpse of that mighty river, we had been following it for so long. Kingston also was once the capital of Canada, but only during 4 years, back in 1841. This fact is still celebrated here in Kingston, with a huge celebration day. To us, Kingston did not make a lasting impression. Of course there are lots of old limestone buildings, but also a lot of new ones in between and some of them dont really fit there.
Because the Navy-Students have a celebration here this weekend, the town is almost booked out, at least we did not find a reasonable priced place to stay. So after spending a few hours in town, we drove out of town , direction west and found a quiet, cheaper motel on a busy road.
One word about the weather. It was nearly tropical today. The air was very humid and really hot, nice to be outside and again the wind pushed us softly, what a pleasure.
