The weather streak has been broken. We awoke to foggy wet weather. The last week has been simply fantastic, with clear skies and warm temperatures. As we arrived into Bar Harbour last night we could see the fog rolling in from the ocean. Last night was a bit of an exercise. Our hotel was established on the present lot sometime before 1784 so you know that it's got some cracks in the foundation. Our room was the "Monarch" suite dressed up with so many flowe...

After a bit of a drive and a little delay at U.S. Customs (Jackman, Maine) we finally made it to Southwest Harbour Maine. Both Ian & Wendy had to go inside U.S. customs to get their U.S. visa printed off. We arrived just after 5:00 p.m. in S. Harbour and made some calls at the local tourist center to see what was available as we hadn't pre-booked any rooms before we left Quebec City. We ended up committing to the Mooring Inn in Southwest Harbour about 30...

We woke to yet another amazing day in Montreal. The prognosis for a great drive through the Quebec countryside was a good one. It's not a long drive, three hours with a break for lunch - it was a real breeze for me on this leg. We stopped about 1:00 pm for lunch at Timmy's.

It's an amazing part of Europe right here in Canada. Everything is just so continental.  We decided to leave the SUV parked in the hotel parking lot and to...

It's been about 23 years since Deb and I first visited Quebec City. We we're much younger and so much in love. I'm glad to see that the city has had the same effect on both of us yet again. It's an amazing part of Europe right here in Canada. Everything is just so continental. We all decided to leave the SUV parked in the hotel parking lot and take a shuttle bus down to the old town. From there we jumped on a Hop-On / Hop-Off bus that took us on a 1h 45M to...
