Waiting in Canada

2 of 2 posts with travel images. Am I boring you yet? T.S.

As usual, you're not getting many shots of us, since you've never seen him. Just more random shots of our few days away. Some on this side of the border, some the other.

Here we are at the Canadian border. One stop light. One camera. Where's the security?

Here we are at the U.S. border. Multiple stop lights. Multiple MULTIPLE cameras per lane. And an agent with an attitude/complex who didn't like that we had too big of a rental for only two people and got out of his booth to search it.
Per a Kids in the Hall sketch, I wanted to be like Oscar Wilde (or Buddy Cole) answering the question: "Do you have anything to declare", and me saying "Just my genius". But the question was never asked.

Evening sky over Place Jacques Cartier

City Hall under renovation. I like how the building covering will be how the renovation will eventually look like.

With the Stanley Cup playoffs underway, the chances of you seeing a Les Habs flag flying than a Maple Leaf are pretty fuckin' good.

Labyrinthe. Alas Mort, no porc. No porc.

St. Lawrence River and downtown Montreal from the Jacques Cartier Bridge

Parc Olymique. Home of the 1976 Summer Games. Time has not been kind to the buildings.

Tulips up on Mount Royal

Wanna knock over a bank in Burlington, VT? This would have been the time to do it. Seemingly every cop was in this park waiting for a group photo.

I LOVE Montreal!! I go there every once in a while for their yearly Labor Day softball tournament. In fact, we used to play in fields right next to the 'Parc Olympique'.
Because we spent so much time playing softball, I never got to really see all of Montreal, but I loved what I saw. (especially what I saw at Stock and Campus) ;-)
