Montreal – all French to me

Road to Canada

Being Autum or Fall as they like to call it the road is pretty scenic.  Didn’t see a moose but saw a squashed racoon, a squashed squirrel and Gary reckons he saw a Chipmunk or some other sort of rodent- Haven’t seen any beavers yet but still looking.

Guggenheim – just like Geelong

New York has one – what a pitty Geelong hasn’t  (at least it gave a lot of people on council a free trip over here at ratepayers expence).  Perhaps we should turn Malop Street into Time Square.
