Buildings At night in Montreal

Inside Notre Dame In Montreal.

Shots from the Tam Tam’s at the Base of Mount Royal in Montreal

As promised some photos first we have what they call the Niagara of the north Kakabeka Falls Just north of Sault Ste. Marie

Neat Falls with a story or two behind them. One is about the Chief of the Ojibwa Peoples, youngest daughter, named Greenmantle that was kidnapped by enemy warriors of the Sioux and forced to lead the enemy warriors to launch a surprise attach on the Ojibwa people. Greenmantle pretended to betray her people and lead them by canoe down the river. Skillfully she lead the string of canoes though the rapids before the falls and at the very last second she dove from her canoe and swam to shore. The Sioux warriors were taken by surprise at her escape that they were busy trying to figure out to catch her when the fall took them by even more of a surprise.

Next are photos from a Water fall at the Aguasabou River gorge I haven’t got a story behind them but they are pretty.

Anyway we are getting ready to leave our Camp site and fire off to Ottawa

Hit Miranda’s blog for an update on where we’re at. Pictures to come tomorrow (hopefully!)

In Thunder Bay I am. It is good times this driving thang. I am hoping to Make Sault Ste. Marie Tonight and then Toronto and St Catherine’s tomorrow afternoon. I have driven around till I found some Wifi and I am checking email and posting blogs. I just stopped at a place called Kakabeka Falls and Spent and Hour or so getting some good photos. I will post them the next time I have Wifi and a little time.

So I am now in Dryden Ontario. Which is a lot farther then I thought that I would get. I am parked at a Husky in a parking lot in a puddle, and I am getting ready to crash out for the night. I am finding this car sleeping thing to be working out pretty good thus far and I haven’t even blown up the air mattress yet :) I am nice and cozy in the back and I am getting ready to have a better night’s sleep then the last. I was parked in the legislature grounds in Regina in what I thought an out of the way street with no one around but I had people all around my car all night I am sure that I didn’t roll over every time there was some near the car they would have tried to steal it. A car with out of province plates is a good target I guess. I am sure that it will be better tonight for I am in a well lit parking lot with lots of 24 hour people around and I am parked in a large puddle :)
Well I am tired and I still need to find my cell phone charger.

So I sitting in a Husky Dinner just west of Winnipeg, and I am going to have a bite to eat and move on down the road. The original Plan was to drive the first day to Regina and the second to Winnipeg. But here it is 3:00 and I am already at Winnipeg, so I may just keep going and see how far I can get. According to the map I can be in Ontario in about 2 ? hours or so we shall see. The Sun is starting to show its face a little bit here and there bit I fear that the rain that I have been driving though will catch up with me. I hope the entire drive isn’t all gloomy and cloudy like it has been. Miranda says that it is super sunny and clear in St Catherine’s so that is good. Any way I am going to get on.

So I am leaving Regina after Driving around for an hour or so tiring to find a good wireless network. I spent the better part of last night taking pictures of the Saskatchewan Legislature. Photos soon. But if I am going to make Winnipeg I better get at it.

So here I am in a Truck stop dinner in Saskatoon. I am going to have a quick waffle and I will be on my way again. Man you think that when you are driving from major city to major city in Saskatchewan they would clearly label the route when you enter the city limits You know like they do every other city when you are entering Calgary there is a sign that says Edmonton Use 16A or something like that right and you can then take the route specified till you get to the next road and it will tell you Edmonton Use the Deer foot north in North Battleford or Saskatoon North Battleford didn’t even say what way the highway was. I had to stop and get a map to get across Saskatchewan.. I mean it is a hunk of prairie with rivers and towns I didn’t thin it would have required one.
LOL They have a Bacon and Eggs Waffle on the Menu but I think that the waitress miss heard me, cause I am now eating Bacon and Eggs But no waffle. Its ok cause after I ordered it I really didn’t want one. maybe she read my mind. I left late from Edmonton I didn’t clear the city till shortly after noon. It was crazy packed on every street that I went down. I ended up taking Crazy Industrial back roads to get out form the Hughes after I got Fuel. I must road trip often or something cause when I stopped for fuel at the Hughes I got my traditional 5 bottles of Jones with the fuel, and the girl behind the till said ahh going on a road trip again I see, you do that a lot. LOL

I have tried being polite and I have tried to be patient. I have tried to be a nice neighbor, but I think it is official that the bar beneath us has got to go. Miranda and I have gotten in from a day that started at about 7:30 am. We shot a wedding today and have been at it hard core since then. So we roll in to our home at 11:30Pm tonight exhausted, sore and ready for bed. Except I live above a bar that is taking their sweet ass time working out the soundproofing issues. Needless to say listening to mindless techno music and Drunk jackasses
fuck around in the bathroom is having an effect on my sleeping. I have called down and I have called the owner and well I wouldn’t be blogging my distain if those things had worked. I am getting a little bit tired of this Bullshit and if they don’t rectify it soon I am going to start lobbing dead fish through the front door on a semi regular basis. K you know what I am going down this is Bull shit… …Well I am back and it looks like the night manager will call me when he gets in tonight. So it a rerun of sleepless in Edmonton for me till the fucking bar closes. I have contemplated drilling a small hole in the floor and releasing a bunch of really smelly gases at random intervals to drive out the patrons till they go under and I can have my peaceful existence back. Arrrg

So I am here at work on my last day for at least 3 weeks. I am also hacking up my left lung with a cough that has been hanging around for a few days. I wouldn’t even be here today but I have a meeting with my manger. We are getting things planned out for the wedding on Friday. This is going to the toughest thing that we have done yet. I am both looking forward to it and not looking forward to all at the same time. I am sure that it will be all good but it is a lot of stress and worry on my part.
On a different note we are almost ready to fire off to the wondrous eastern Canada next week, the car is tinted and there is a bed that is going to get set up in the back. I have new tires and I have gotten the annual running out of fuel out of the way. Last night we were crossing the hi-level Bridge and were waiting for a light on the other side and the car started to buck and stall. We were like WTF mate!! The light changed and we went and the car ran out of gas two blocks later. I would never had looked at the gauge but Miranda the clever one that she is was able to figure out what the trouble was before I started to take the engine apart :) Thanks to M&M we were able to get the diesel that was needed and still make Chilies for a bite to eat. But that is that I am out of here.
