September in Canada (Kingston to NB)

September was a month full of driving and family!

Kingston, ON. was a pretty neat town, and there were quite a few tourists having a look around.

This was a steam engine in the center of Kingston. It was huge!

It was also SUPER windy! We actually had trouble walking.

The scene from our campground near the Ogdensburg border crossing. It was a really nice park with lots of seasonal campers. We had a laugh while using  some outdoor gym equipment, and we had fun playing a couple of rounds of mini golf.

We had some lovely weather and some lovely views.

We finally made it to Ottawa, where we had a full schedule of "events" to keep us busy. There was tennis, 

the ceremonial IMAX movie at the Canadian Museum of History (formerly The Museum of Civilization),

Thai food with Dan's cousins,

 and lunch with Dan's "Aunt" Anicka. There was also crosswording, swimming (Dan and Lenka), visiting with family and meeting old friends.

A cool church in a small town in Quebec.

We stopped in Quebec City and did a walking tour that took us to some sights that were new to us.

This farmer's market down by the water was pretty fun, and the produce was super cheap.

We saw a couple of  cruise ships on our walk (this one wasn't even the biggest). We didn't even know cruise ships docked in Quebec City. 

We took a nice walk in a great city park in Riviere-Du-Loups, QC

Nice boardwalks for the marshy bits.

During the hike, the trail left the woods and emerged into an old apple orchard. It was surprising, but it explained why I kept seeing half eaten apples along the hiking trail!

Some of the falls along the trail.

The main show.

We stayed the night at Lake Temiscouata in Quebec. Dan had a very cold swim the next day!
