Traveling Tuesday

Hello everyone,

I'm so happy you have come to visit Traveling Tuesday.

Today is the last post in my series...To see all posts Go HERE.

I loved visiting Niagara Falls. We stayed on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

The views are so beautiful. We drove along the Parkway and I photographed one of the seven NATURAL wonders of the world. The Horseshoe falls is the largest. And compared to the Maid of the Mist tour boat I believe it's BIG and amazing.

As the boat passed by I snapped a photo of the bright red rain gear. The wet and wild cruise aboard the Maid of the Mist is legendary. To stand in the mist behind the thundering Horseshoe Falls must be phenomenal.

The American and Bridal Veil falls viewed from the Canadian side. At night these falls are illuminated in different colors.

We were going to Buffalo New York to catch our plane home so I didn't take the boat tour. That's my story and I'm sticking to it...

Check out the MIST!!

Amazing

Traveling Tuesday

Hello everyone,

I have arrived at my favorite place. Old Quebec City. My dream was to travel to Paris, France, but Quebec City was a magical city and I knew it had the feeling of Paris. My favorite part of the trip to Quebec City was to see The Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. It is a well-known landmark in Quebec City. With its copper roof and stone towers; travelers like me scan the horizon for the iconic roofline of the splendid Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac.
We traveled over the St. Lawrence river and entered the beautiful city. I called the hotel for directions and they said "go to the fountain and turn left" and we did.

This fountain is placed in front of the Parliament building and is called the

Fountaine de Tourny

We drove into the walled city and found our hotel. In the winter the large area on the right is an outside ice skating rink...

We stayed at the Marriott...
850 Place D'Youville

Crepes for breakfast was a priority and I was delighted to enjoy the Fraises fraiches 'fresh strawberries'

I had crepes in the morning with a latte ~ sweets in the afternoon ~ a lamb shank for dinner. I don't think it could get any better than this...

We toured the city in a double decker bus.

After enjoying a lunch in the cafe at the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac we watched the Ferries cross the St. Lawrence river.

In the evening we took a taxi to have dinner across the street from the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. The sun was setting and I knew my beautiful dream was coming to an end.

Restaurant 1640 occupies the ground floor of L'Auberge du Tresor. They offer a savory classial international bistro cuisine. We sat outside under a red umbrella.

I was dreaming I was in Paris, France.

After dinner I looked at the beautiful hotel sparkling in the night. And I knew I would be leaving my dream city in the morning.

Come back next Tuesday and I will show you our last stop before flying home and back to reality.

Joyously,

Betty

Fall Patio Before and After

Hello everyone,

We are having a 20 degree above normal temperature in Northern California. It's been in the 90's this week. Hopefully by this weekend it will be cooler. Sweetheart and I are busy this month. I am so blessed to have a group of friends and we are gathering together this weekend for a retreat...Then sweetheart and I rre off to his 55th high school reunion. October is always so much fun with the baseball playoffs and the World Series. We have friends coming over to watch one game on our BIG television on the patio. And now I have the patio decorated with a warm blanket covering the swing and another warm blanket covering the chaise. I have comfy pillows and a throw to cover up if anyone gets a chill. I found a plaid throw to cover the top of the swing. I bought the gray blankets and plaid throw at Wal Mart for under $5.00 dollars each.

This summer I dressed the swing in white with soft pink pillows and pink flowers. BEFORE

If the weather cools off in the patio, we have a large heater to warm us up.

Our family has decided to all come to visit during the Thanksgiving holiday and we have plenty of space for the guys to watch the Thanksgiving day football games. I will be blessed to have all my children and my six granddaughters together at the same time. I have a photo opportunity and I will be taking a loot of photos.

Looking forward to the weeks ahead entertaining friends and family.

My fern grotto is looking healthy. And when I trimmed all the flowers before my vacation they are having a beautiful new blooming cycle. I just love to see the roses bloom.

Secret, Autumn Joy and Delphinium
