                    <description>And look what we came home to It39s cold and there39s a dusting of snow on the ground though the trees I can see from my office window are still covered with green and yellow leaves. Go figure. Roberta whose cold is still lingering went out to pick up a pizza for our supper last night and was shocked to the marrow of her bones by the cold.Still it was good to sleep in our own bed last n</description>

                    <title>Nearly home</title>
                    <description>We had a 4hour layover in Winnipeg so we took advantage of a city tour that Via arranged with a local bus company. Invariably I find these tours are a great source of historical information about a city and this one was no exception. We visited the legislature a beauiful sculpture garden the grave of Louis Riel and a church driving through many interesting neighborhoods along the way. Many p</description>

                    <description>We woke up this morning to find the sun shining a little bit and our colds abated somewhat so we decided to take advantage of the good conditions while they lasted and headed off to drive the Gatineau Parkway.What a trip down memory lane to be in these hills amid the fall colors with the sun dashing in and out I remember many hikes up to the Belvedere Lookout in company with different fam</description>

I39ve spent much of the last three days sleeping trying to get on top of it. And today Roberta reports a scratchy throat dashing our hopes that she might escape catching this from me.We stayed with good friends John and Maggie until Thursday morning. It was hard to leav</description>

                    <description>We were up at the crack of dawn this morning actually the dawn had not yet cracked to cach the train from Quebec City to Ottawa. This actually consisted of two trains. The first from Quebec City to Montreal was very impressive Instead of the usual four seats across it had only three two on one side and one on the other. The overhead baggage compartments were smaller than normal but faced th</description>

                    <description>As an aside I absolutely HATE the fact that this blog forces me to select a continent country region and city and then doesn39t give me the choice of Clair NB which is where I39ve been for the last 56 days. The best I could do was Edmundston NB. SighWe39ve had the extraordinary good luck to be here for the absolute best of the fall colors. We came east at this time of year in par</description>

Its been very dry here this year and the river is way down.

                    <description>When we got back to Halifax last night the Internet was down seemingly across the city so I wasn39t able to post on our last day on the Cabot Trail until today. I hope I haven39t forgotten too much Downloading all the photos helps though.We had been supposed to go sailing yesterday but it turns out the last sailing tour was last week. So after breakfast we got going to complete the ent</description>

                    <description>The sun came out this morningTour guide Ryan took us to a number of scenic lookouts and beaches today. The planned whale watching didn39t take place until late afternoon due to high wind early this morning. However when Roberta and I discovered the boat was a zodiac we opted to stay on dry land in a gesture of respect for our lower spines Zodiacs are quite bumpy even in good weather. The f</description>

                    <description>At 800 this morning our tour guide Ryan picked us up at the hostel and together with five other adventurers we set out for Cape Breton Island. Adventurers is the appropriate term too. This is a bunch of travel aficionados most of whom are at least two decades younger than we are. The conversation all the way to Cape Breton was about people39s travel adventures.One young woman on this tour</description>

                    <description>We woke this morning to the sound of a fog horn sea gulls and crows three of the most pleasant sounds in the world at least to our ears. I find it amusing that I so love the sound of sea gulls when I usually find their presence annoying as when picnicking on the beach when they are trying to steal my foodIt39s another foggy day in Halifax and in a few minutes we will be leaving on a bus </description>

                    <description>No pictures today. At least not yet. We had a very quiet day yesterday and were intending to venture out a bit more today than we have so far. But it39s quite foggy so there are no views available to speak of. We39ve been out and about a bit but haven39t strayed far from Barrington Street.We39ve had an exciting morning nevertheless. Thinking we had to switch rooms today we repacked</description>

                    <description>We really played tourist today in Halifax. After breakfast we walked up to the Gray Coach kiosk thinking we39d take the hoponhopoff bus but it wasn39t running today no cruise ship in port so we took the 3hour city tour instead. It was very interesting including a walk through the beautiful Halifax Public Gardens a stop at the cemetery where 121 Titanic victims are buried and a q</description>

                    <description>Well. Here we are in Halifax and our first full day here was just the most beautiful perfect sunny day cool in the morning warm in the afternoon with a gentle breeze off the ocean.The hostel is located just a couple of blocks from the train station which we discovered AFTER taking a cab from the station. The cab driver was most cordial and understanding about having such a short fare howeve</description>

                    <description>Wow I39d forgotten how much I loved Montreal I39m so glad now that we planned to spend a few days in Montreal on this trip so I could renew my acquaintance with it. I remind myself that when I came to Canada in 1968 Montreal was my first choice of a place to live  it just wasn39t a very practical choice at that time for a nonbilingual person at least one who wanted to work for a </description>
