After getting up, we
boarded our buss and headed north-east to the resort at Montebello.
After spending the night, we will be on our way to Montreal.
On our way, we stopped at
a sugar shack, and this one was great. We had a quick
tour of the maple boil down and the local bakery and then we went in
for lunch. With lunch, we had good food, fresh
bread, crepes with lots of maple syrup, and a fiddling duet
that entertained us well. Following lunch we continued on the
the lodge and we enjoyed the facilities there. |
The gentleman with the white beard
was the sugar shack owner, and chief maple syrup maker.
The retired baker on the right, makes all the bread for the sugar
shack resturaunt.
While we ate, these two played, we sang,
many danced and had a merry time.

It's still nearly green . . . but
color is coming.
The lodge was much like Timberline.
with a big central hall, huge fire place and rustic timber walls and
structure.
Isn't Pat beautiful ? You
better answer YES !
Thanksgiving, had pumpkins all
over - but many told us that pumpkins were a new food item for them
On the drive out of Montebello,
we finally saw some color. Success at last !
