Trip to Montreal - Part 3 - View of the City

After the day at the Science Museum, Andy drove us around the city. I was able to visit the geo dome which I had visited in 1967 when I had gone to Expo '67.





Then we went to the top of the mountain (Mont Réal) to view the city. It was bitterly COLD that day!

Trip to Montreal - Part 2 - my hosts

On Saturday, November 20, Heather, Andy, the children and I went to the city's science museum.


Here you see beautiful Elizabeth trying to decide if she wanted to sit with me for a while. We got along beautifully and she just sat and looked out the window at the harbor.




Oliver had been to the museum before and he was VERY UPSET that he had not had time to sit and read books in the reading corner! That day, Oliver got his wish!




There were lots of hands on activities for parents and children. Andy stood on a pedestal and raised a ring about the size of a hula hoop with a GIANT soap film around Elizabeth and himself!




Then there was the mind over matter experiment. Heather and Andy had to concentrate on nothing and with no brain waves, they could move a marker between them. Oliver was most interested in his concentrating parents!

Trip to Montreal in November - part 1 - From the Train

The train trip to Montreal is an incredibly beautiful trip. From Wilmington I traveled to NYC and then changed trains. From that point on, the scenery is just BEAUTIFUL. First the train travels along the Hudson River. Although it was late November, the fall colors were still visible.






Then later, the train travels along Lake Champlain. Just BEAUTIFUL!
