We're in Canada


We arrived in Montreal yesterday to meet Francine and Gilles at the Flying J just liked we planned so many months ago. It's hard to believe we are really here.

We drove to our campground and had dinner with Francine and Gilles' son, Pascal, and his girlfriend, Christine, and had a wonderful dinner that Gilles and Francine had prepared.

Today we toured the wine country east of Montreal. Besides tasting some cider wines, we toured this relatively small, thriving vineyard.












These grapes are from the University of Minnesota so we had a fine discussion with the wine maker and tour guide.











While we were touring the wife made us up a wonderful picnic basket of cheeses, meats, baguettes, apples, and freshly made Italian dessert. It was a beautiful day to enjoy our lunch accompanied by a nice bottle of wine.
