We drive slowly on the highway 401, spring scenery is
still very beautiful. At 5:00 p.m., from the 617 exit, we arrive at the
"water city" of Kingston. Only 12 million population of Kingston was
once the capital of Canada, when it was built in 1673, there is no difference.
But the most striking "characters" - the messenger who is still the
highlight of the town. In ancient times all messages of the town are by the
Rideau Canal all the way came from Toronto, and then by the messenger who read
aloud for the town of men, women and children.
This custom has been retained so far, of course, it
has more performances and cultural heritage significance. More than 60 years of
age, and the uncle is a local celebrity, he had "news competition"
won first prize in the international. He was dressed in ancient costumes, thick
and sonorous voice clearly through the town of air, trance people back to the
past. Bid farewell to the small town of Kingston, take the highway 401 north to
the straight line, it is our next destination - Thousand Islands.

Thousand Islands - Cornwall 1 hours 29 minutes 149 km via E ON-401
Cornwall, is a city of Southeast Ontario, Canada.
Located 80 kilometers southeast of Ottawa, on the north shore of the St.
Lawrence River, the Great Lakes waterway and Cornwall canal route.
In fact, this small town has nothing to look at. A
street across the center of the city. It's just a small town on the way to
Montreal from 1000 islands, it also has a lot of memories for us. We live in
this small town for two years. My son started to go to school from the small
town. Too many memories, we can only walk slowly, as if walking in the
memory...

tension and fatigue.
