CLEAN FOR A DAY!

July 10, 2011  Dateline Kingston, Ontario Canada

Today was a rest day for me; I got to sit in the marina for the day.  Before he left me this morning Rich gave me a wonderful bath with soap, WOW did that feel great.  Carol, cleaned the living spaces.  Here is picture of part of the marina taken from shore.  I should have been a basketball player because guess which one I am.

Yesterday, I posted a picture of a Porsche with a bike rack on it and the license plate “Weiner 1”. Well here is a picture of the cart that the wieners are sold from.  Rich and Carol each had one; they told me that they were very good.  My favorite food is CAT food or better known as diesel.

Here is the fountain located by the marina it is really pretty and is very large.

While Rich and Carol were walking, they saw this mouse climbing up a wall to a Canadian Military installation.  He was about half way up the 12 ft wall.  He was in no man’s land, a long way up and a long way down.  He was just holding on.

Kingston was the first capital of Canada and was a wealthy town. The city streets are clean and neat.  It was highly fortified during and after the War of 1812 to keep the Americans away.  England spent more money building defenses around Kingston than any other English city.  Kingston was never attacked.  The City was formed by Americans loyal to the crown who fled the American Colonies during the Revolution.  To show their loyalty they named the area Kings Town shortened to Kingston.  The Canadian Royal Military College is located in Kingston. The City later became the western port on the Rideau Canal.  The Rideau was built so that cargo could come down the St. Lawrence within English controlled territory from Montreal to Kingston and not go near the rivers rapids or those pesky Americans.
