Cabled Sweater


Finally finished this sweater and I am really happy with the results.  This was such an easy knit.  It is knit in one continous piece from front to back and then the sleeve ribbings are added.

Montreal

After Quebec City we drove to Montreal.  We stopped at the Montmorency Falls for a hike and some pictures.
The Olympic Stadium where the 1976 summer Olympics took place.
The botanical garden is located close to the Olympic stadium and is well worth the visit.  The array of flowers, vegetables, trees, shrubs and bonsai collection makes it a great destination for those who enjoy nature.
The Chinese Garden
The Japanese Garden
Old Montreal
I can't even try to imagine stomping around in these!
On the way home.  Heading to the US border the land is flat and lined with dairy farms.
What a charming house.

Quebec City

We drove through Vermont to get to Quebec City.  Our first stop was for breakfast at a local diner.
Along the way I was able to take lots of photos of great houses.
So much charm and character!

Now I know why Quebec City is considered to be the most "european" city in North America. 

The world famous Chateau Frontenac hotel.
A local boulangerie (bakery) is the best place to start your day.

Sunset over Quebec City.
