Canada Trip Day 4

Carla and I slept in this morning until 7:45 am. I made Carla her formula, fed her, and let her crawl on the floor. Meanwhile I reorganized my suitcase. Carla and Pepe just took a shower. Check out the pictures Carla is wearing the red dress I picked out for her!! I just played the Viola a little bit. Carla looks SO cute! I let her pluck the strings, Very gently. We are trying to decided to go with plan a: go to a beautiful park named Joan of Ark OR plan b: go to a wonderful museum. It has been raining off and on all morning so you can see out problem. We had breakfast at the hotel. Pepe and Rossana made cock tail reservations for 8:30 pm. Carla and I are going to order room service and watch a movie. Then we went to the park. It was a long walk, but worth it. There was a fountain, which Carla put her feet in. Then we hung out on the grass while Pepe and Rossana read the Mexican Newspaper. Finally at about 1:00 pm we took a walk into town. Rossana and I spoke Spanish the whole. She taught me how to say green house. "Invernaculo" Then we went to a mall that was full of restaurants instead of shops. We ate pizza and then an assortment of desserts. Then I was able to get my glasses adjusted. We crossed the street and looked at an adorable kids shop. Carla fell asleep. Now I am sitting on the sidewalk with Carla in the stroller next to me. Rossana is looking for formula in a store. This is the 10th store we've looked in this trip. Pepe is figuring out our walking tour route. I forgot to mention that going to Joanne of Ark's Park was part of the walking tour Pepe is guiding us on. We are continuing that tour now. So far it hasn't rained yet! It was supposed to.

Montmorency Falls

Carla and I woke up around 6:30 am this morning. UGH!! I gave her the formula and then took a shower. I just finished answering Papa's questions in the Study Pig notebook. Right now Pepe is running so us girls are hanging out. I just finished playing the Viola. Rossana just finished taking her shower. More later. So after breakfast we went to this museum where we saw a movie in 3-D about an artist who paints Samuel de Champlain, he founded Quebec. Then we went on a boat to Montmorency Falls. They are higher then Niagra falls by 90 ft. and 22,000 liters of water falls per second. Then we ate lunch, I had ribs, and we returned to the hotel. We are resting now, but Carla refuses to sleep. At least she isn't crying. More later. We slept for 4 hours until 7:30. Then we took a walking tour, guided by Pepe, of upper town. It was raining. He charged us each 15$. Carla was free luckily. One of the landmarks was a cannon ball in a tree that a tree had grown over. Then we went to the silos grain and watched the largest projection in the world. It is projected onto the silos. I took plenty of pictures and some video. By that time it was 10:20 pm so we returned to the hotel, and had dinner at the little Bistro in the lobby. Finally we got to bed at 11:30. Good NIGHT!!

Canada Trip Day 2

Our Tour guide

This morning I woke up to the wonderful face of Carla smiling at me. We placed her crib next to my bed! I took a took a shower, checked my e-mail, and played the viola. I wonder what we will have fro breakfast? It is only 8:09 am. More LATER! See more about walking tour in the Study Pig notebook. Before the tour I changed my money at the bank. Not only was the Canadian dollar stronger, but they wouldn't change 2 dollar bills!! P.T.N. I am OUTRAGED because of that. Back to the Journal.........I thought that was strange so about 10 min. later we were on this boardwalk, and I spotted a kiosk that changed money. Go figure they also changed 2 dollar bills. After the walking tour we ate lunch and on our way back to the hotel we spotted a candy shop. That is where Dever and Juju are getting their presents. At the hotel Carla took forever to go to sleep, and just now, at 6:20, Rossana, Carla, and I woke up. Pepe just taught me how to prepare Carla's formula. We are going to go on a walk, bye. We had dinner at a nice restaurant, however the service was really slow. We were there until 10:30 PM. Pepe used the extra time to teach me how to properly how to hold my knife and fork. Good Night!!
