After leaving Niagara Falls we took a ride to the historic town of Kingston. We enjoyed a tour of the Old Fort Henry, a 19th century British military fortress. After a walk about town and rest we had a really fun Boat ride with dinner and entertainment ton the St. Lawrence river. On our way to Kingston we stopped at Niagara town. This was a pretty little town for tourists with lots of fun shops and historic buildings.<\/p>\n

The next day we headed for Montreal. This was a long day with a stop at Upper Canada Village where we visited a re-created rural village which immersed us into the 1800’s. It was a fun stop. Lots of Halloween decorations going up all over Canada and this village was really going crazy decorating for their very festive Halloween festival nights.<\/p>\n

This consists of 32 bronze panels, which were cast by Morris Singer Founders of London, England. The altarpiece is 5 metres wide and 8 metres high (16 feet by 26 feet) and weighs 20 tons.”<\/p><\/div>\n
