No coat today!

What a difference a day makes. Sunday we explored the Lachine Canal and





walked through old Montreal. And the sun shone. Beautiful day. Home to Ineke's for a delicious home cooked roast pork dinner with red cabbage. Norm was in heaven.
Today we discovered some new "wrinkles" in our holiday plans. Some may remember when Norm couldn't remember our hotel when we were Napa valley last year, well today we discovered that our train trip to New York is not quite as simple as we first planned. You've got to love booking things online. Norm had hoped to get Ineke and Lynn to go on a road trip to Vermont and drop us off in Burlington. That turns out not to be possible. No sweat, we will just head south on our own. But we found out today that Norm has booked us on one train going south and a different one coming back to Montreal. So now we have to find a way to get to Essex Junction in Vermont. Not exactly a well known destination. I love traveling with Norm because we always end up seeing places we just hadn't planned to. We'll keep you posted on our solution that Norm is working on tomorrow!

Today we had a wonderful lunch with David Koch. It was great listening to him explain the student protests. I understand much better.



Don't they look like a couple of young university students? This is at the Jean-Talon market. So different from when we were there on Saturday. It was empty today! We had lunch at a delicious bakery that was busy. Fed David lots of desserts too.
After lunch we walked all the way from Jean-Talon to Westmont. A good hike! Norm and I split up part way and he went to David at the radio station at McGill. Norm was quite impressed. He will have to give details later.
The weather was so nice, we had no coats on! Love the sun. Tonight a quiet dinner with Ineke and tomorrow we will figure out how to head south and have a few days exploring Vermont. I hear there are lots of rug hooking stores to explore:))
