Chateau Ramsey and statue of Drapeau





Chinatown




Spot the very bad word

Notre Dame Cathedral




This refers to the statue below. Not sure I get it.

On Today's Walk in Montreal

 
 
 
Overheard on my walk today to the post office. 
 
A young father pushed his little girl in this giant pram. She couldn't have been more than three, curly-haired, cute as a bug, and she was not so much sitting in it as lounging, resting her head on one hand. 
 
As they passed I heard him ask her, "I'm sorry, did you just say you want to fly to Vegas?" 
 
She heaved a big sigh and said,
 
"Someday..." 
 
I died on the spot, as did the father.
