Touring Kingston, Ontario, Canada


Kingston was the first capital of Canada. There is a lot of history surrounding this city which is considered the sailing capitol of Canada. After our ordeal of the previous day, we checked into another marina in the heart of the city and had a huge breakfast of eggs, ham, French toast and pancakes. (made up for all we lost) The weather was spectacular as we toured the city on a trolley. They have both a Canadian Military Academy as well as a large (Harvard of the North) University in Kingston.


This steam engine and coal car were built right in Kingston. It's interesting that the railroad industry was so big here and in Oswego 75 years ago.
