Heading toward Montreal now.\u00a0 I took a side trip to check out Niagara-On-The-Lake, which turns out to be a really nice little town.\u00a0 On the way this small hydro facility caught my eye:<\/p>\n

But for some reason I like the view towards the lake more:<\/p>\n

The rest of the day was just driving.\u00a0 I took the superhighways through Hamilton and Toronto.\u00a0 In the morning I thought to make a reservation at my intended destination, Kingston.\u00a0 However, everything there was full up – I guess this being a moving weekend, a long weekend, just before back-to-school AND Kingston being near the Thousand Islands made it a popular spot.<\/p>\n

So I drove as close as I thought I could get a room and ended up staying in Belleville.\u00a0 It was pretty crowded there too, and I didn’t get an ideal room.<\/p>\n

Along the way I stopped at The Big Apple, a roadside dessert shop my friend Winston had recommended:<\/p>\n

and got an apple pie to go.\u00a0 It was pretty good.\u00a0 I’m not a pie connoisseur (more of a cake person) but it was definitely worth a bite.<\/p>\n

I haven’t been east of Toronto since 1985. \u00a0I’m moving out of familiar territory and into dimly, distantly remembered areas and new lands now.<\/p>\n
