Montreal and Quebec City

This is the big house at Shelbourn Farms in Vermont.  It's an experimental farm from about 1915 to today.

This is the sitting room in the house which is now a hotel that is only open from May to October.

Then we went to Montreal.  This is from the 1972 or 76 summer Olympics.  We toured it in the rain.

We took a tram up inside this tower and could see forever.  Downtown Montreal that is.

See how far we could see?

And more of the city.

That white thing is the Biodome.  It has all the different terrains of Canada.  Pretty neat

This an inside view of Notre Dame in Montreal.  We went there next.

The next day we traveled up to  Old Quebec City.  It is beautiful.  If I spoke French I would have loved to spend a lot more time there.  This is a little street that was here in the 1600's.  Very charming.

That's us in front of a huge wall painting. 

The tree are starting to change.

This is a federal government building in Quebec.  Kind of like our state capitol building.  At the right of the photo is a screen covering sand blasting of the building.  I had to get very close to see that it wasn't the building itself.  Pretty neat.

This was our tour guide, Pierre.

This is back in old Quebec City, the upper city.  It is so quaint.  I almost felt like we were back in France.

We could see the St. Lawerence

 from the upper city.  Quebec is on a few hills.

We went to see a waterfall and have a lovely luncheon.  This is the view from our table.  WOW

You can walk across a foot bridge and go to the top of these stairs and walk down to the bottom.  We didn't have time to do it.  So sad.  lol

Me and the winter carnival masscot.

The falls from the bottom.  We were driven there in a bus.  I didn't walk it.

The sun was warm that day.

We went to a copper store and watched one of the owners shows how to make a copper wall hanging by pressing a pattern with a pen like tool.  I bought myself some beautiful earrings made right there.

And the last thing we did there was to go to the Notre Dame in Quebec City.  I think they have a Notre Dame in a lot of cities of Quebec.

I've got more pictures to send, but I'll try to get to them in a couple of days.  I mean there is a ton of pics.  The trees are at their peak now and I've gone nuts.  And we are going to be busy, busy, busy for the next two or three days.  Will write then.
