Default Going back home tomorrow.

Been in Canada all week. First I was in Farnham SE of Montreal. Then Wednesday I drove to Calgary City which was a nice drive in the country side. I do miss my doggos and the horsey. Oh, and the wife and kids too! Had a couple of potine dinners and alittle beer but mostly I worked and hung out at the hotel.

My son lives in Montreal. My mom lives near Calgary. You didn't drive to Calgary from Montreal on Wednesday, as it is a 3 day drive.

it's Gods country up there; especially in the fall.

Been 35+ years since I've been in Canada (was a work trip)... but I still remember things about it..

Might want to cut down on the pot... Quebec City is beautiful, and just a couple of hours from Montreal. Glad you had a good time.

Oh, and next time you're there, try the poutine.

lol! Yep ‘poutine’. Of course being from South Carolina it tends to come out different when I say it than when I hear it. Like ‘po-boy’, po-teen’. Maybe I need more.
