The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone earlier this month. You can click on any image to see a larger view. This was a Christmas tree at a bank.

I had breakfast at a delicatessen. This time I had an omelet with Swiss cheese and tomatoes. Nothing else, as the omelet was filling and I knew in advance before I ordered that I wouldn't be able to eat anything more such as toast or potatoes. I had this omelet with coffee and water. It was delicious.

These last photos I took in a Montreal park. This is a different park from the last blog post.

The red sign "Le Coin des Fetes" is French for "Party Corner or Festival Corner"
