Montréal


The north end of Place Jaques-Cartier, in the Old Town (Vieux Montréal)

(The Adidas "Hurricane")

The traditional Montréal feast - Smoked Meat Sandwich (at Reuben's)

What a great spot for Roller Derby!

A cannonball lodged in a tree.
Legend holds it dates from a 1759 battle between Wolfe and Montcalm.
(That's the French and Indian War, don't you know.)

The 'funicular' joining the
Upper Town and Lower Town
(an option for the weak of knee).

Just blow the dang thing off!!!

Isle D'Orleans


Enjoying fried cheese at a wonderful small fromagerie near St. Francois

A vineyard near St. Francois.
Natily's expression is not reflective of wine quality,
assuming you like extremely fruity dessert wines.

A live herd of Buffalo

Feeding sheep

Natily's arm really started to ache, so she got some love from some doggie friends.

At the Ben and Jerry factory

Paying respects to 'Sweet Potato Pie'
and other residents of the Flavor Graveyard
at the Ben and Jerry factory.
Truly moving and thought-provoking.

says Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is 'all right'
