Backyard Picnic

This afternoon we took a stroll in our backyard -- the beautiful town of St-Anne-de-Bellevue. Although its name isn't fun to spell on the phone (S-T-E-Dash-A-N-N-E-Dash-D-E-dash....), its a gorgeous place. St-Anne's (as the locals call it) is right on the canal to Ottawa from the Ste-Lawrence sea way. Ships, yachts, sea-doos, and fishing boats travel through our locks to bypass the rougher waters of the river. More about the locks in an upcoming post...
Here are a few pictures from our excursion.

This is the start of the canal's board walk,which is about 100 meters from our apartment.












Here is the bench we were on when Pepe Le Pew stopped by the other night.



That still makes Tom angry.
