Also...I noticed you ate poutine twice. your first description of it as an "interesting experience" made me think you didn't like it. Definitely not an every day thing...but I love the stuff (the tim horton's...not so much).
Many thanks,
grandgourmand
. I definitely liked the poutine
! I was just a bit overwhelmed by the tsunami of carbs and fat on my first try
. Having a smaller portion along with some protein on my second taste was certainly a bit more agreeable though

What is interesting is that you are the pax that AC says don’t exist…those that fly to Canada and apparently AC has managed to convince our former government that EK is just a ferry for business to be taken away from AC…and hence, only 3 flights a week.
Most locals have come and gone from St. Lawrence by 10am (we are usually done and gone by 9…[live about 500m walk to the market…] nice shot of the wedding party outside of St. Pauls Basilica in YYZ…I suspect the waiting list to get married there is also long…. Love seeing all the rio tinto lanyards. Reminds me of a buddy of mine who is senior commercial lawyer for them in London.
Thank you,
mkjr. Yes, it was quite strange with the Canadian govt. being so restrictive on ME3 flights. Only allowing three flights a week to the whole country sounds more like politics rather than economics.
Living so close to St. Lawrence Market must be very sweet! The guy on the phone asked me for his photo, wearing sunglasses in the rain seemed quite unusual too

I used to work for Rio too so was abit nostalgic with the logo's everywhere.

Thanks,
broenor. I'm always looking where next to poke my camera when I travel. It means plenty of pics to sort through but also hopefully a good overview of what there is to see in a new place

DanielW! It's a shame Rio didn't allow photos on your smelter tour though

Many thanks,
Madone59. Yes, I guess they were worried about us taking pics of anything top secret

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
fivevsone. Yes, an outsiders view can make us look at places in a new and interesting light.

Great report as always, Daniel.
Thank you,
blueferrari. Yes, Quebéc City was a very pretty place. I think the photo's have convinced Gerald and Esther to make another trip back again after many years too
