Doesn't this look good? Garlic shrimp from Savage Shrimp - highly recommended


Oh yeah we looked a bit around the island too...
They have this little canyon



The have this very cool coastline - I think King Kong (the new one) was filmed around here


Bye! See you next time

Quebec City

Welcome to Quebec City

We're here to keep my little friend company - say hi dude!


Quebec city - being in Quebec - has all the charm one would except in a french city:

Horse Drawn Carriages


Cute Cafes and Shopping Streets


A Castle! (well in this case it's a hotel - but you can pretend)


An area of historical significance



Cannons



Wine Vending machines


and Sugar Pie!

Welcome to the G20 in Toronto




Honestly they should have the G20 every week - I could get used to this subway ride


You can even drive to work since there is plenty of parking


Of course a lot of the stores are closed...


But the important ones are open


As part of the G20 they have decided to redecorate the downtown core. Personally I find it a bit industrial with a "prison-like" feel, but different people have different tastes.

The designers started with a base of concrete...


they added steel...












A few strategically placed vehicles...









Cameras...


Signs...



Mirrors...


Bubbles...


Roadblocks..


and a few of the Canada's finest and to complete the masterpiece...








Not bad for a billion dollars eh?
