Welcome from Montreal - we got here - a little tense at times with traffic but overall good. Our little apartment is rustic but has everything we need and in a fantastic position.

It's Friday 24th August and we have just spent 2 delightful days at a place called Kingston on the edge of Lake Ontario and the beginning of the St Lawrence River.
