Montreal in August






We arrived back in Montreal on August 22 and since then we've been trying to sightsee as much as we can before school, papers, work and bad weather keep us condo bound. Actually, we've started joking with Jenn and Dom that we are going to take them around for a tour of the Quebec countryside!

These pictures are of Chambly. It's a really pretty town about 1/2 an hour from Montreal where the Richelieu River opens up into a lake. The French built a fort there in the 1600s and its now a National Heritage Site. There is also a lock system there which takes boats into the Chambly cannal so that they can avoid a set of rapids.

There was a little lock like that in Utrecht that I had to cross to get to my carpool friend's house every day. Thanks for the reminder! Keep sighseeing.
