Day 101: Belleville to Trenton, Ontario
Day 101: Friday, July 22nd: Well, we had no rain all night, so it was a good sleep. Today was a short hop for us, only about 18 miles. We wanted to stop in Trenton to re-provision, do laundry and get Ruth a haircut. We pulled into the harbor at Trenton and was greeted by this huge sign:

They have a big, relatively new, Catholic Church in town. Very pretty:
And this is the old Anglican Church. It is also very pretty and less, um, pretentious:
Another interesting building in town is this old-looking clock tower which can be seen for miles around. It sits among several very modern-looking buildings; a striking juxtaposition:
