Lemoine Park and Bancroft

Although the last published entry is more than five months old it doesn’t mean that nothing interesting happened in that time. Actually there is quite a lot that has to be said here to give you a glance of the road I’ve traveled.

Since I don’t want to bore you to death I try to make it a brief summery of the different things worth telling. Let’s start with July and August. After the barbecue at Paul’s place we (Lenko, Christian, and me) decided that we want to see some more of the wild-life of Canada. This in mind we started to a biking tour which wasn’t actually a tour but more a day of biking. Anyway, we went to Lemoine Park which is about an hour biking from “downtown” Kingston. Although nothing spectacular happened it was a nice day off and we saw some squirrels and a lot of chipmunks.

After that day we got “hungry” to see more and since Algonquin National Park, one of the most beautiful National Parks in Canada, is only about a three hours drive from Kingston, we wanted to go there. However, it came different. We were a little short on money so we decided to follow the invitation of Paul to go to Bancroft a town more or less close to Algonquin where his family owns a house. We rented a canoe from the outdoor club of Queen’s university and left K-Town for a weekend. It was fun and since I’m an early riser, I was able to take some pretty nice pictures of the sun rise and a lot of fog and morning dew. The pictures from Lemoine Park and the Journey to Bancroft can be found here.
