The departure was at promptly 8:00 a.m. from Shaika Café without the usual early coffee since they open later on week-ends.

Round the roundabout to the Lachine Canal path!

Bicycles reign on Notre-Dame Street on Saturday morning

The Camp is gone from Hochelaga- Maisonneuve

The Fish  mural

A treat was in store on our early arrival at Parc Bellerive: A violin recital by a talented brother and sister

The Ferry docked on time. We were confident that we would get on since we had reserved ahead.

They can sure carry a lot of bikes!

Malcolm couldn’t resist bird watching!

Bridges over wetlands

The fauna in the forest stimulated a discussion over lunch about ticks and Lyme disease

Lunch by the Long House that has lost some thatch since our last visit.

The Smoke House, not the outhouse!

The raspberries are gone!

O Captain, My Captain! on the ferry to Boucherville

Homeward bound on the superb South Shore path
