Castle in an Island

Castle in an Island

This ones has a long history, but due to my bad memory I will make it short :D

This island was the property of the owner of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York.

He bought it for his wife.

Well, first the island, was cut and refill to make it have the shape of a heart.

Then he started building the castle, as a gift to his wife, a proof of their love.
He brought the best artisans, constructors , workers from all over the world, to build the most magnificent building ever.

But then, his wife died, and he abandoned the project.

Years later the regional council bought the island back, finished the castle, and turn it into a museum.

We only saw it form outside, since being tourist in Canada, we were not allowed to set feet in the island, that belongs to US.

Its quite impressive, but the history has a sad ending :(

An island in the 1000 Islands area

An island in the 1000 Islands area

After visiting Toronto and Niagara, we made a stop in a place called Thousand Islands.

Is a river and lake, in the border between Canada and US, where there are a lot of islands. So the name 1000 Islands.

There are big ones, and large ones.
Some have huge superpretty houses, other small ones.

I can say that I live in an island too.
Of course not like those ones.

Lots of ducks too. but thay kept themselves too far away from the boat.
