Christmas Break #4 - Ducks and Waves and Narnia

On the way to Kingston and Kingston:

We stopped at a couple of historical spots (as always!) and then wandered around Kingston on the river. It was really really cold but also very beautiful.

At a spot where a woman loyalist settled and built up a town off of the St. Lawrence River:

This was another historical spot to do with loyalists:
ducks!
 In Kingston:
"On this spot, more than 1500 Irish fleeing THE GREAT HUNGER along with compassionate citizens of many faiths who cared for them died of typhus in the fever sheds of Kingston. 1847-1848. WE HOLD THEIR MEMORY SACRED."
This sounds awful.
I like the clouds in this photo and that the white, red-roofed forts are visible along the shoreline.
We raced out down these rocks, jumping from one to the next. The lampposts remind me of Narnia.
SO many birds!
