Montreal hosted the 1976 Summer Olympics...a bit surprising to many on the trip, given our cold and snowy theme!

There were hundreds of pictures of tour guides and bus drivers on the wall at Chez Marie.  If someone could find Linda's picture, she would get that person a free coffee.  Of course, Emmett won.

Welcome to the sugar shack!







Playing the wooden spoons!


Leaning the bridge portion of the contradance.

After pouring hot maple syrup on some snow, you let it chill, and then roll it onto a popsicle stick.  Delicious!

We are ahead of schedule. We are going to try and make it back to Hartford without stopping a second time.  As of right now, our gps has us getting in around 6:45.  We will be parking in lot d.  If we get held up I will let you know, otherwise see you at 6:45!

On the way!

We have made it back to the US! We crossed the border without a hitch, and we are nearing our first stop in Williston, VT.  We are currently ahead of schedule, and are looking at an 8pm arrival home.  I will have the kids call when we are about 90 minutes out, and I will also make one more post.  We will be doing a photo and video post tonight, so check back to see some of what we did.  Also, if any of the students want pictures that they took to be posted, just email them to me at Emmett.drake@gmail.com or Sam at slhiller19@gmail.com.
