Islands and Castles

1000 Islands Campground
Alexandria Bay, New York


Today we did the touristy thing and took the boat tour around the area ending at Boldt Castle. It was unbelievable how many people were there in the middle of the week.  Obviously the castle is the main tourist attraction in the area.



The main house and the other buildings were very impressive.  The castle is being restored at the rate of about one room per year.
 

This looks more like a castle to me than a boat house.
 


Inside were some very fancy wooden boats.

I don't mean to criticize Dave's photography, but I think this photo of the patio would have been better if he had waited for this woman to move out of the way.  I bet she would be embarrassed if she knew she was on the Internet.

Tomorrow we leave this area and start towards the Niagara area to meet our son and his family for several days.  Our granddaughter, Sophia, is compiling the itinerary so I just hope going over the falls in a barrel is not on her list.
