Montreal montage


Computer savvy we are not, but we did finally manage to upload some pics (albeit postage stamp sized).

Seventy-five...that was the temperature today as we walked to Parc Lafontaine. Highlights at the park included Wes wading in the lake, while the low point was the old man sunbathing in a G-string. We did take a picture of course (for the sake of the blog, but the pic didn't make the cut). Over the weekend we made it to the Montreal Biodome (Wasn't that the title of an 80's movie starring Pauley Shore?). Anyways, we ventured into three different climates including the arctic, a rain forest, and a north american forest. When the day was done Wes' favorite part was seeing the polar bears (despite the small fact that we didn't see any polar bears). Our Canadian workout included carrying a double stroller and two children down the stairs of the subway (see pic above and note the broken people mover). Apparently, Montreal prefers its public transportation to be located below the earth's crust.

We are renting a car this weekend which we will have for the rest of our time here. This should greatly increase the radius of our lives. As I write this post, I can see fireworks exploding over the St. Laurent River. They have a fireworks festival this time of year that lasts for two weeks. Things we are looking forward to include the Montreal jazz festival which starts in a week.

Thanks for all the comments, we love hearing from everyone. We are taking photo requests as well as long as the don't involve speedos!

Enjoyed the pics. I bet Wes loved the Subway!

The man in the G-string is a spy. That's not a thong, it's a high-tech listening device.
