Chateau Something—I forgot to look it up but it is the Fairmont!
We are here! And the GPS on the phone agrees!

All kinds of sculptures, artwork and fountains in these gardens.

Gotta love the flowers all over the place here!
Well happy 4th of July to all my followers! Don’t think we will see any fireworks here and especially since it is raining (again) and really coming down right now! But we got our exercise in earlier today after breakfast and will venture out for dinner at a cafe later when things dry out!
I am trying to post a variety of pictures for you to see—today we walked in the lower area again and down by the river a bit. There is a beautiful museum close to the hotel called the Civilization Museum and while we have not really toured the inside we toured the beautiful gardens outside and took many pictures of the neat sculptures and gardens. They even had a play area for the children with BLUE sand!!! It was all a little soggy today but neat regardless!
We went to a few shops and Chris found a great pair of sandals (go figure—have to go to Canada to find sandals???) and I am still weighing in on what I want for a souvenir—-jewelry or a teapot???? Hmmmmmm. Hard choice!
It was beginning to rain so we headed back to the hotel and found a niche to sit in to read the paper and chill. I think I am just going to live in this hotel. I am getting a little too used to the service. They came and brought us tea and that was really nice! The breakfasts have been incredible and I chose a little bit more wisely today and got eggs and tomatoes and toast instead of the sugar laden french toast! I feel MUCH better today than yesterday!!! Now it is nap time before we go out in the rain and drizzle. Despite the weather it is still a wonderful trip and Chris outdid himself getting it all arranged for our anniversary celebration! He is treating me like a queen!!! LOL
