But this time, for a change, we headed towards the waterfront.
There we discovered a neighborhood we didn’t know existed…
Rows of beautiful old homes…
And several other surprises!
A lovely old inn on the water - the Gananoque Inn - with a spacious outdoor veranda restaurant.
After eating, we walked to a nearby bridge…
There, near the tour boat landing, we discovered a secret: the houses we had admired backed on to a river.
(Or is it a canal?)
And many - if not all - of the homes have boathouses in their back yards!
How many other Canadian towns can boast of homes with boathouses… next to the St. Lawrence River?!
I wonder - Were boats the main form of transportation here when these houses were built?!
