Boldt Castle and The Thousand Islands

Sunday July 15th.  Our journey on the St. Lawrence today took us past the Boldt Castle which George Boldt had built for his wife Louise in 1900.  This was their summer house.  We past by on an early Sunday morning and they not yet open so we continued on.  The rest of today took us through the Thousand Islands.   They actually number at 1,800 and fill an area 15 miles wide tapering to 5 miles over a distance of about 50 miles.  Two thirds of the islands are in Canadian waters.  What a sight to see!  One of the stops today was in Clayton where we of course had to tour the Antique Boat Museum.  A very nice museum to see if you ever travel this way.  We then continued on to the city of Kingston, Ontario where we stayed at a marina overlooking the city for a good nights rest.
