And one weekend without sailing ....so that we could visit my sister and her family in St-Vincent de Paul, north of Montreal. The idea was, in addition to visit them, to "inaugurate their new deck with a super outdoors fiesta...

Well, while their patio was beautiful, as expected, the weather was not! Coolllllllllldddddddd and Windy....so the fiesta on the deck was really shortlived! Even the neighbouring dog, Poppy, was in need of a cover up!
Nevertheless, we had some drinks and enjoyed ourselves...my sister Liette was disappointed! I kept telling her that summer was not over yet, but she, a hot weather lover, was not really convinced!

To cheer her up a little, we went downtown Montreal on Saturday for a little shopping expedition!

Thanks Liette!

As for Heiner, he had something exciting in store!!! Pierre invited him to ride with him on his motorcycle - and they did!

All of Montreal, up the mountain, then downtown, through old-Montreal, and finally onto some rural roads!

Hey, this was fun - and they had earned their Heineken at the end of the day, cooling down their wind-burnt faces!

Thanks Pierre!
