Day 290 - Hotel away from Home

Once we finished cleaning the eaves and emptying the pool I finished up packing, changed and drove to Laval. The king size bed was a welcome sight after a busy weekend. I took out my wide angle lens to capture as much of the room as possible. I also took out my flash as the one on the camera wasn't enough. If you look through the blinds you can see the lights from the cars on the nearby highway. Despite the closeness of traffic the room is quiet and I'm looking forward to a restful sleep. Good night.

Day 224 - On the road to Toronto

It was a long but smooth drive to Toronto. We managed to miss the Montreal traffic for the most part and arrived in Kingston around 3:30. We met our dear friend Kim who is visiting her son there. We haven't seen her since the fall so it was nice to catch up. She treated us to a lovely supper and then we got back in the car and finished the last leg to Toronto. I did all the driving so Peg used the iPhone to take a few pictures. There was a beautiful sunset but it was a bit much for the iPhone camera to handle. This is a shot of the 401 highway that goes through Ontario. It has 4 lanes on each side plus what they call collector lanes. It's a bit stressful to drive on at times but since it was later in the day it wasn't as bad. Made it safe and sound to Mississauga by about 9:30.
