Month: August 2017

Monday August 21, 2017 We enjoy a leisurely morning at the cottage. Carol makes a wonderful breakfast of pancakes and sausage. We pack up and when I am bringing things to the car, the guy staying in the cottage next to us comes over to say hello. Just another friendly Canadian. He is from the […]

Sunday August 20, 2017 We get an early start this morning and drive about ten miles to see a waterfall. Along the way, I decided to take a less traveled road rather than the main highway. This pays off as I notice some movement in the roadside vegetation and see a small bear. I slow […]

Saturday August 19, 2017 We get up a bit early today, have a light breakfast, shower, and pack the rest of our stuff. We finish loading the RAV and then go to leave the parking garage. Our key does not seem to be opening the door even though the light turns green on the card […]

Friday August 18, 2017 It is supposed to rain all day today and it is raining when we get up. That causes us to roll over and catch a few extra Zzzzzzs. Then a nice breakfast and an extra cup of coffee. When we are done it is still raining but much lighter. We pack […]

Thursday August 17, 2017 Another nice homemade breakfast and we are out the door. We walk to the city hall and take a free tour. It is kind of short and alright, not the best we have been on. We learn a little history of Montreal politics and a few things about some of the […]

Wednesday August 16, 2017 We had a good night’s sleep and best of all, we did not set an alarm so we take our time getting out of bed. The fridge is definitely not working right so we will call on that after 0900. Carol makes a nice breakfast of eggs, potatoes with onions, and […]

Tuesday August 15. 2017 We wake up and I go to work at mapping out our entry into Montreal. I also look at some alternate routes to sight see along the way. We also plan to stop in a suburb to do some food shopping as we have a studio apartment with a stove and […]

Monday August 14, 2017 We both slept well last night and are ready to begin our day. We sit down for our last breakfast prepared by Jacques and Diane. Diane is the chef and Jacques is the waiter. We begin with the fruit and yoghurt and the croissant. Our choice for today is egg and […]

Sunday August 13, 2017 We start our day like yesterday with a great breakfast. More fruit, more yogurt, another croissant with assorted jams, and then eggs benedict with more fresh fruit. Then we relax, sipping our café and talking with Carmelo and Diane. We chat for well over an hour sharing stories of Italy, Sicily, […]

Saturday August 12, 2017. Breakfast starts at 0800 and we are there promptly. Jacques explains that we start with fruit or yogurt or fruit with yogurt, then a croissant and there are like 12 different homemade jams and jellies plus homemade caramel on the table to put on the croissant. After that we have five […]
