My sister Lyn drove up from Brooksville, Florida this month in her Saab convertible to visit with us for a week, on her way to Ontario to see Rande and Richard. She met me at the border crossing at Coburn Gore, Maine and followed me to the cabin, fifteen minutes away, on our property in the Domaine des Appalaches. The weather was perfect, hot and dry with no humidity and she enjoyed her first trip to the mountains where we will be living. We spent the time getting to know the area, roaming about the Domaine, walking down to our fishing lake, picking wild strawberries at the top of the mountain, and just enjoying the peace and quiet. We also took a drive around Lac Megantic, stopping in the town for coffee at Mickey Dees and then coming back through Piopolis.

After a few days we headed back together to Montreal where she stayed for another three days. I took her for a tour of the city one hot day and we spent 12 hours roaming around, walking up St Catherine and St Denis, taking the Metro out to the Olympic Stadium, and going out for supper at one of our favourite restaurants, L'Acadamie.

On her last day in Montreal I took Lyn over to Nun´s Island for a short visit with Lara, then it was back home for a bbq with Phil and Fer. Soon enough it was time to move on once more - west on the 401 to the Big Smoke...gws
