Catching Up

     These are from the last 1 to 2 weeks. Last week was so warm and beautiful, we spent it almost fully outdoors to plant the garden. Most of us got sunburns. ...
*These are all cell phone pictures, by the way.*

Montreal

     We went on a one-day trip to Montreal at the end of April. I was just getting used to be surrounded by French when we left. It was quite beautiful - our hotel balcony faced Mount Royal - and we enjoyed driving around and seeing the interesting things. :)
Passing the Big Apple.

Somewhere by Gananoque.

Quinte

Hotel free breakfast.

Mount Royal with the Royal Victoria Hospital on the upper left corner.

Still in Quebec, but on the way home.
