vintage dreams in canada

we may not be making the bed right now but lookie how our friends break out the vintage for us...

note to self

today the mister made me laugh so hard that i went into guffaw-overdrive and couldn't stop. there was gasping for air and a plethora of tears and it carried over for another four hours as we drove from montreal to toronto. just thinking about it is cracking me up all over again. i do quite like my mister. he is one spiffy fella.

in montreal

we walked along cobblestones.
admired the city at night.
went thrift shopping...
studied Easter Island.
walked through an excavated history of the city.
took cover from the rain at an open air market.
and sipped refreshments from an enormous orange.

Montreal is beautiful, stunning, old, new, full of people and sounds, ups and downs and overflowing with wonder. if only we had more days to visit. i'm already itching to return!

yesterday...

i jumped with my best pal from twenty-something years ago.
we drove through two states...
and into canada.
ate hot dogs in vermont.
we exchanged our moolah for some prettier stuff.
and walked through a very old and beautiful city.

the fourth of july is not just for fireworks

we're in New England right now and will be in Canada in a couple of days. we're nearing the middle of the trip and boy have we had some ups and downs. thankfully the ups are much more up than the downs have been downs and when you throw them all together this trip is a lot like the long long trailer with a bit of national lampoon's thrown in. chaos! we've gone through yet another air mattress, stupid allergies, road trip snippiness and ridiculous giggles. the bugs have stopped biting but there was an incident with a dog and my knee...youch! we now appear to be somewhat tannish even with all the sunscreen and even though we haven't hiked in a while we did manage to throw in a bike ride thanks to the magic of modern medicine and antibiotics.

yesterday was the fourth of july and we woke up extra early to see some new england sites.
we walked along a bridge of flowers.
eye spied some glacial potholes.
visited a gorge.
lunched in north hampton.
got snake happy with young uns.
watched a beautiful sunset.
and ended the evening with fireworks...of course.

new mixtape!
