When I came home for Christmas, this was our first stop. My neighbor took my sister, Japanese friend, and I to a work party here. It`s easy to find, just head towards the lake on Princess street...

Well, I wouldn`t say it`s worth the trip downtown just to see the locomotive. But, right in front of the City Hall, on the waterfront, by the tourist center, is an old steam engine. It`s just...

Bath Street, on the right, by the bowling alley, across from Canadian Tire, just before Princess.
So this was fun. Despite the fact that I`m not a 60 year old retired woman with...

My mom, dad, sister, Masumi, and I went to Fort Henry just after Christmas for sledding. It`s not a huge hill, but it`s the biggest and best in Kingston. We have two sleds. A black plastic Walmart...

I`ve never actually been right inside the Marine Museum itself. But it`s one of my favorite Kingston icons.
Outside of the museum, there used to be (it`s gone now) a small wooden...

To the left of the City Hall, across the street from the tourist center is The Prince Charles hotel. They say it`s haunted. I remember parts of a story involving a fire and the death of a lover a...

So back when I was in high school, the ol` Pita Pit was a bit of a hole in the wall. But still popular. We used to go there after coffee shop nights and order gyros… which I eternally...

I love going to The Copper Penny. If you want to find it, just google it. This is a nice restaurant with pretty good prices, in the 15 to 25 dollar range.
Last time, I was feeling a...

So this is an other classic place for Kingston. Masumi and I went there. I was telling Brian that I used to come here as a high school student twelve years ago. He looks exactly like I remember...

On the way back from a Christmas shopping trip to the Cataraqui Mall, I threw out the suggestion that we all go to The International Chinese Buffet. It`s across the street from the Cat Mall on...

An Ontarion favorite. It`s a big store, easy to browse through, all 2nd hand stuff. From books, to clothes, to furniture… I was a little dissapointed with it`s new set up. The alleys of clothing...

In 2005, over Christmas, that`s the last time I went there. I just hadn`t got the chance to go again. But I love it.
It`s a restaurant and bar in the old Kingston Historic Fire Hall....

This is one of the loveliest views of chilly Lake Ontario you can find.
I used to come here back in the old days. It`s not much to write home about in the winter, being as icy and...

My sister, Masumi, and I headed down...

Being an x-avid curler myself, it was pretty good to get back on the ice. How do you get there? Well, if you`re going to the Kingston airport from Amherstview and you`re heading towards downtown on Bath Road, hang a right onto Gardiners (…I think), and you`ll see the Kingston Curling Club on...

One of Kingstons classic historic sights. Like an old castle.
It`s a military area that`s still in use as a tourist facility and for military shows. There`s a great view of downtown...
