We have arrived back in Waterloo.  Just in time for some nice thundershowers!  :)  Always like the rain...so that is fine with me.

Having a hard time processing the photos on Joey's computer.  So will wait and see where we are at on the other lap-top.  Funeral services will likely be held shortly.  Or not.  :) 

Thinking about going to stay in the Ice Hotel in February.  That would be in Quebec City.  Looks like something right up my alley.

I wonder what the temperature would be in February up there?  Probably below zero!!!!  Just think of alllllll that snow and ice.  Heaven on earth no doubt!

 

 

 

Saw these two T-Shirts in St. Jacobs this afternoon.  Thought they were cool.
 
Some things in life can't be explained...this is one of them.  This girl is an INCREDIBLE artist!

Going to St Jacobs today...and to see the countryside.
 
Finally got around to fixing some of the photos from Niagara Falls and the helicopter tour.
 

Heading to the copter...
 
 

Take off went well :)
 
 
 

Joey making some attempt to fly the helicopter.  We didn't
crash so I guess he did okay!

Niagara By The Lake - front of Prince of Whales Hotel
 
 

This is the house of a local artist - Trisha Romance.  She does
amazing art-work.  Paintings.  Many of them are snow
scenes.  I loved those of course.  She has a web site here

www. romancecollection.com

This house is her gallery.  Hundreds of amazing paintings for sale.
This is in Niagara By The Lake (name of the town).

 
So in between the thunderstorms we spent most of today in St Jacobs and at the Farmers Market in Waterloo (a few miles from the house here).  The Farmers Market is where a lot of the locals sell their fruits and vegetables.  There are a lot of Amish People there...farmers.  Ton of fruit and vegetables...jams and jellies...quilts and artwork.  Fun to walk around and see everything. 
 

Lot of apples for sale...
 

And flowers

Some of the local kids walking home from school...
 
So another great day in Ontario.  Weather was warm with thunderstorms.  I believe it has rained almost every day I have been here.  I love it though!  My kind of weather.  A cold front went through this evening and it has turned sharply cooler. 
 
We have decided to go to Quebec City in February to the winter carnival and the Ice Hotel.  Should be nice and cold!!!!!!!
 
We are heading for Toronto tomorrow!  Will be there until next weekend.  Not sure what we are doing after that.
