We are getting to the end of this summer - we had a slow start, buth then a long one, a really long one, considering that we were swimming in October!

And making use of our bicycles driving around the islands and up-and-down some hills (until our bums said: NO MORE!!!!).

And enjoying the last glass of cidre at our favoured place, up on the hill, overlooking the anchorage and Lake Ontario (no more as well ... they were closing the same weekend).

The fall colours are wonderfull - they are all out there, if not the temperature.

Some friends left south with their boat, and we waved good bye with a sad smile.

Others wanted, and had to stay, and we hugged them, feeling sad. Mireille, you have our best wishes, life sucks at times, or as you said ... "shit happens". Perhaps 2007 was not such a great year after all.
