Auberge du Vieux Foyer Val David

... is" having not been here since five years ago. The place was again more beautiful than I had remembered. Lovely little shops, restaurants, boutiques, lodges, resorts, and even a casino, all nicely decorated that made this small village look like a picture right out of a fairy book.

We proceeded walking along the cobblestone pavement, up the hill, looking here and there. The colour of the ...

... la journée et nous sommes partis au parc du Mont Tremblant pour admirer les couleurs de l'automne. Je ne voulais pas rater ça cette année, car l'année dernière quand j'y suis allée, toutes les feuilles étaient tombées!

Aujourd'hui le ciel était quand même très couvert, mais finalement, on n'a pas eu trop de pluie. Bref, on s'en est bien tirés, et on a passé une bonne journée! Et les couleurs étaient superbes!

... with is a paramedic - perfect! (I may have mentioned that before...can't remember...)

We had a wonder around, then went to Charles' sister's bed and breakfast in Mont Tremblant - it was a fantastic place with loads of really nice, vintage furniature and an old piano and a bar from Paris! And we had a very pleasant picnic outside with Charle's family. Twas a lovely excursion all in all!

Une journée caniculaire au mont tremblant avec Fabien et Virginie...
Un bon petit pique-nique, une promenade en canot pour digérer, et quelques petites randos.
Il fait plus de 30 degrés, sans compter le facteur Humidex.... C'est blindé de moustiques, on s'est fait bouffés, mais comme tout le monde au mont tremblant ce jour-la! (15 piqûres rien que dans ...

... We all had a great lunch and proceded to our next activity, boat rentals. Colette, Dad and heidi too a canoe while I took a kayak. It was fun becayse the water were mildly rough so i was getting soaked, i had a blast!! Colette on the other hand not so much....i dont want to embarrass her so ill leave it at that. We then went and relaxed for an hour at the hotel before looking at the town and getting some takeout. We headed back ...

... across the Pont Laviolette (which I have been admiring from afar for like, 5 weeks). Lucky us, we got to cross it twice, since the first time we went through it, we were going the wrong way. :)

Nous n'avons trouvons pas l'hôtel très vit, et nous sommes arrivé à l'hôtel à dix heure environs. Au samedi matin, nous nous sommes réveillé à huit heure et nous avons ...

... une petite balade dans l'érablière. Et puis nous avons repris le Monster Truck pour aller visiter les chutes de Dorwin, qui sont connues pour la légende indienne du sorcier Nipissingue. Voici l'histoire: Il y a de cela bien des lunes, vivait dans les terres de chasses un vieux sorcier indien, le méchant et tout puissant Nipissingue. Il avait tellement d`influence sur les autres, que le grand conseil de Sachems ne décidait jamais rien sans l`avoir consulté avant. Sa ruse, son ...

... backpacking trip, already dating back to 4 years ago, acts as a rough guide to this one, although I anticipate many differences, not the least of which are my age (a whole quarter-century..will I be like a grandma compared to the high school kids?) and the fact that I'm travelling off-season (hopefully I won't be the only one!). I still have lots to get done before my flight, so I'll end my first entry here. Stay tuned...

... snow. But we arrive in lovely Mont Tremblant safely. So we checked-in to our hotel but we should have gone to another hotel called Les Johannsen. Day 21 Well today we were up early and enjoying our free breakfast. Straight after lunch we hit the slopes. Katherine and I started on the easiest run to get back into it which also happens to be the longest run at 4km. It didn't take us long and we had found our ski legs ...

... same time..eeek! The return to RBC Dominion Securities for a week! I loved seeing everyone again as I had missed all those familiar faces (people you end up seeing more then your own family, you spend so many hours of your day at work..) but that whole work thing..yucky! Ok, who am I kidding, I couldn't really 'work' because I had to catch up with everyone and also because I was limited in what I could do as I am not registered/licensed with the company anymore.. Tuesday at ...
