Vacation Pics

While we were touring Quebec City, we saw this sign for the washrooms ... I thought it was fun.

This is a huge mural in Quebec City, as you can see. It's unbelievable.



Again in Quebec City. this is a cannonball that the tree just grew around.

A view of Quebec City and the St Lawrence River, from the boardwalk in the old part of the city.



This is Gryper and the Missus at Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. This picture is taken as the tide is starting to come in. You can see the water line where the growth of the trees end and the rocks in the background have been eroded.

This is Gryper's Missus and my Mister at North Cape, the western tip of Prince Edward Island. It was incredibly windy that day as you can see by the waves and the jackets blowing.

Poor Muggins, she just about ready to get a haircut, so the wind was blowing her hair in her eyes. It looked pretty funny.

Here are Gryper and the Missus, Muggins and me on our bikes on the Confederation Trail (old railway beds) that run across the island from end to end. They're really well maintained and only for cycle and foot traffic, not motorized vehicles.

The north side of Prince Edward Island at Cavendish.

Gryper on his relentless search for mussels. We finally found some but a local person advised against cooking them.

Muggins resting up after a hard day in her favourite place - a lap.

Gryper and the Missus when on a trail ride. Likely not the most exhilarating ride they've ever done, but they did have fun.

I love the mural.

Maybe a cycling tour of Quebec should be on the agenda.

The pics are awesome....Does Muggins just sit in the seat or is she strapped in?

There's a harness inside. The first time she was in it she tried to jump out while we were moving. She is a pretty fast learner and figured out really quickly that hanging from a harness beside a moving bike is really embarrassing. LOL She sits there nicely ever since.
