back in Montreal...

The city is lively tonight. We ran into a group of street singers earlier tonight. They whispered to us in French, something about how we should follow them... we were very hungry and thought we;d find them after dinner, but no luck. Probably a mistake, who knows what would have happened?

We also saw guys balancing on giant hula hoops, people juggling hoops and others just setting up. There is a major street in Montreal that is closed to cars for three months every summer. Pedestrians claim it, and restaurants set up tables on the sidewalks- who says pedestrian malls are bad for business? These places were packed! We saw s,ome of the street performers on this street. It should happen everywhere!

Tomorrow we'll camp near Burlington, Vt., we'll have a hotel room in Brattleboro, Vt. 2 days aftere there, I will check in from there, Tuesday or so.

But I do have to say, this heat is pretty awful. I am gathering this is an unusually sweltering summer. If anyone from the east can comment, please do. The Sagueney region was cool... one of many things we'll miss.

Yes, this heat is very unusual - especially the nights that don't cool down. How long will you be in Vermont? You're very close!

Brattleboro is only about three hours away - come visit!

The heat is unusual - especially the hot nights - and we've had a great summer till now.

My mom is flying in on Saturday.

Where else are you going?
