Our plans to begin heading up the Rideau Canal to Ottawa, today’s capital of Canada, have been set back several days due to high winds and rain. To make the best use of our time here, we opted for the Hop On Hop Off Trolley Tour. In 75 minutes we had gleaned a considerable amount of history of Kingston, Canada’s first Capital. Many of the buildings in this city are built with lime stone blocks quarried from this area. The pics taken from the trolley are seen through water droplets since precipitation has been very persistent. Highlights of our tour included City Hall, the Royal Military College, Queen’s College, Center for the Performing Arts, a collection of penitentiaries, Fort Henry, Ferry Service to Wolf Island and various museums.
