Kingston - a tourist mecca

Here we are getting ready to take off for yet another part of our adventure. Before we left Bath, we dropped by the Sunday Market. Today was the beginning of the market that runs all summer long. So many interesting things to look at. I picked up a cute little painted bird house and some Canada jewellery that I plan to wear proudly on July 1. Since Kngston is only 22 km down the road and we knew we would not be able to check in to our hotel early, we took our time and stopped at a bunch of scenic parks. Took a bunch of photos and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Stopped into a grocery store to pick up a few items. Arrived at the Residence Inn by Marriott at noon and luckily our room was ready. I think this is the nicest room we have ever been in. We have a kitchen, desk, sitting room and a king size bed. There are so many people walking around. Lots of shops and restaurants and tourist attractions. We made a reservation for a harbor cruise tomorrow. It is a busy attraction. I fact, the 3 p.m. tour was sold out today. We had lunch at an Irish pub called Tir nan Og. We sat outside on the patio and it was so enjoyable. I cannot recall seeing so many outdoor patios anywhere else. I had a flat iron beet salad and Hannes had the lunch special (Reuban). Both lunches were delicious. Had a great walk after lunch. Hannes always says you have to ask the locals about good places to eat. He wanted fajitas for supper and the front desk staff suggested the Texas Lone Star Grill. The restaurant was in an old fire hall. Hannes said these were the best fajitas he has ever had!!! I had the Baha Tequila Shrimp which was good. It was just hopping inside. Enjoyed a leisurely walk back to the hotel. Still so many people out and about. Tomorrow promises to be another glorious day.
