This morning we decided to take a drive to Belleville, wanted to do a pass by the new place (that’s always fun) and to see the city of Belleville.  It’s small but to be fair all cities in the province will feel small compared to Toronto.

We walked around the downtown core, there was a small farmer’s market and Maggie picked up a few things & we had lunch at the Tiger Chicken & Rib restaurant.  They’re revitalizing the downtown core and it certainly gives you that small town comfy feel.  Were a few homeless people on the streets which makes me wonder what type of support structures they have in the city, it’s going to get cold soon and with the close proximity to the water, I figure they’d get a lot of snow.

We didn’t stay long as we only really went out there on a whim and came bay in the early afternoon.  Nice that it’s not too far out, in the morning it was 1 1/2 hours to the cottage, coming back traffic was heavier so it made the trip coming home 2 hours.

We take ownership of the house at the end of the month so it’s a bit tight but everything is looking ok so far. 🙂
