We had the opportunity to go on a fabulous trip

to Canada a couple of weeks ago with some
wonderful friends of ours.

We flew into Montreal and went sightseeing
to "Old Montreal."
I love old buildings and especially cathedrals so
we went inside this Catholic church.
It was very ornate and kind of dark so most of my
pictures didn't turn out....

...but I did get a good picture of this
stained glass window which was
in the ceiling...very cool...

We walked around this part of town and
went into some of the shops..

...before we traveled on to where we were
staying for the week.

Mont-Tremblant is about 75 miles north
of Montreal and it was really beautiful!!!

"Halte du quai" means "Stop at the wharf"

Here we are with our friends the Smiths and the Neeleys
just after our cruise around the lake.

We stayed in this fun apartment...

...which looked out over the golf course.

We went on hikes and saw a few deer.
This one was really tame. If we would have had some
food I think she would have eaten right out of our hand.

There were flowers everywhere!!!
On the bridges...

On the side of the road...

...and even above the road.

One morning we went exploring and found this
old covered bridge...

...and took more pictures through the sides of the bridge.
(this is one of my favorites!!!)

Right near the bridge was this quaint
farm...

...and this cool sign post.

Of course we had to get in our daily
required amount of shopping.

This is the Mont-Tramblant village which had
lots of shops and fun things to do!!!

Such as the candy shop....

... and the Christmas store, which we found
ourselves in almost every day.

Before we left the owner new our names and
gave us each a friendship angel ornament...
just for coming in every day.


This was one of our favorite places to eat...
Crepes!!!
We had dinner crepes one night and dessert crepes
one afternoon. They were heavenly.

They even had a "Build a Bear Workshop"...

Before we left, I decided to take more pictures of the
signs...since they were in French and
kind of fascinating....

Some were very familiar....

...and others I had to look twice to figure out
what they were trying to say!!!

We had a great time and like most places
we visit, I hope I can return someday...
