Bar Harbor
This was one of my favorite ports. I loved all the little shops. We took a bus up to the Top of Cadillac Mountain.

Halifax Pictures
Here are a few of the pictures from Halifax. Of all the ports this one was my least favorite one. The people were very friendly though.

We're In Halifax
Well, we missed two ports because of bad weather. The seas had waves over 15-20 feet. Dick and I were both sick!
We are in Halifax and will be here until tomorrow night. I am at a library and thought they would have had a SD reader in there computer but no such luck. I will post pictures later today or tomorrow.

On the boat
We are on the boat. Sorry I can not post pictures right now but the connection is very slow and would take lots of money to do it.
Quebec was very beautiful. Old Quebec is surrounded by a moat, not filled with water now. The building were wonderful. We took a bus tour of the city.
Yesterday we were at sea. I remembered my Mom and Dad on the anniversary of there death. They are both missed very much.
The sunset last night was spectacular!
Today we were supposed to be in port but they said the winds were to pick up and it would have made it to dangerous for us to be in port. I am sad as I wanted to see Anne of Green Gables.

Montreal
We made it to Montreal. I am very happy to say that I am not having to much troubles getting around on the Metro, subway. Everything is in French, but thanks to me paying a little attention to my class while they are in French I am able to say a few words and the people are helpful!
We couldn't get into our room, so we stored our suitcases in the hotel and then went exploring. We met people from Chicago and they were following me of all the time.
Dick loved going to the Notre Dame Cathedral. It was amazing. I think that St. Patricks in New York is bigger. The stain glass windows and the alter area is just beautiful.
Then we took the Metro to Olympic Park. The venue has lots of cement! Dick and I walked around the whole thing! I loved standing on one of the medal award areas. This is the closest thing I will ever get to a medal! I thought it was cool that they had plaques of all the gold medalist in the park. You can see a picture of this.
Then we went for more walking in the Botanical Gardens. Gorgeous flowers. I included some of them on the slide show.
Now we are back to our hotel and I am posting this for all of you to see. Tomorrow we will board our ship!
