JULY 1991 Dan and I began our vacation on Sunday afternoon, July 7, 1991. We spent the first night of our trip in Columbus, Ohio. It was on into New York State on Monday. We made stops in Erie, Pennsylvania and Rochester, New York before ending the day in Syracuse where we spent the night. Early Tuesday morning we made a quick stop at the Mohawk River and Barge Canal just east of Utica.  Next we moved on to Cooperstown, New York. The picture above is from the middle of main street in downtown Cooperstown. We very much enjoyed our visit to the Baseball Hall of Fame, Doubleday Field, and Lake Otsego, all located in Cooperstown.  After a delicious lunch at a local Cooperstown restaurant it was off to Ticonderoga, New York. The above picture is taken from the summit of Mount Defiance, overlooking Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont. We spent the night in Burlington, Vermont.  We spent the next morning in Stowe Vermont. While in Stowe we road on the Stowe Gondola to the top of the mountain and walked around the town itself where the above picture was taken.  After Stowe it was on to Franconia Notch, New Hampshire. We enjoyed a number of activities in this tourist area. We rode the Cannon Mountain Tramway and took in the panoramic view of the White Mountains from the summit.  We also took a gander of The Profile, also known as on a the Old Man of the Mountains and the Great Stone Face, mountain side above Profile Lake. We had fun crawling through the rocks at Lost River. Pictured above is the Waterfall at Lost River.  We also rode on the Loon Mountain Gondola (pictured above) on our way to North Conway, New Hampshire where we spent the night. The next morning before leaving New Hampshire we visited Glen Ellis Falls and the Wildcat Mountain Gondola.  It was on to Maine next. Above is the state capitol in Augusta.  We spent the night in beautiful Bar Harbor.  This shot was taken from the summit of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park.  We spent most of the next day on the high seas. We crossed the Bay of Fundy on the M.V. Bluenose.  Above is Yarmouth, Nova Scotia where we got off of the Bluenose Ferry and immediately drove to Halifax.  We spent two nights in Halifax. Pictured above is downtown. It rained the whole time we were there which curtailed our outdoor activities.  The next day we drove to the east shore of Nova Scotia where the sun came back out, which made for a scenic ferry ride between Digby, Nova Scotia and Saint John, New Brunswick (pictured above).  The next morning we drove from Saint John to Fredericton. Above is the Provincial Legislative Building.  After lunch we headed north, our first stop was in Hartland, New Brunswick where we drove across the world's longest covered bridge. Later in Grand Falls we enjoyed the falls in Gorge Park. We then spent the night in Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec. Our hotel overlooked the St. Lawrence Seaway, which we would cross the next morning by ferry.  After spending the night in Chicoutimi, Quebec, we drove to Roberval where we visited Val-Jalbert Historic Village. Above are the Ouiatchouane Falls at Val-Jalbert.  Above is the Tramway at Val-Jalbert.  After leaving Val-Jalbert we drove to Quebec City. While in Quebec the weather was very hot, about 100 degrees. We took in a number of activities in Quebec. The changing of the guard at the Citadel, a boat trip up the St. Lawrence Seaway, Grand Canyon of Ste-Anne Falls, and Montmorency Falls (pictured above).  Quebec is one of my favorite cities in the world. We stayed at the prestigiouse le Chateau Frontenac, which is pictured above. We had a great time watching the many street performers on Dufferin Terrace located just outside the hotel's front door. From there it was an easy funiculaire ride down to Old Lower Town and it's many unique shops and eateries.  It was off to Montreal next. The above shot of the Montreal skyline was taken from Mont-Royal Park.  Above is St-Joseph's Oratory. We also rode the funiculaire to the top of the tower at Olympic Park.  From Mont-Royal again, but this time after dark.  Ottawa was next. Pictured above is the magnificent central Parliament Building.  The picture above was taken from the Ottawa River during our boat tour.  We spent the next night in Kingston, Ontario.  The above picture was taken from our boat tour on Lake Ontario looking back on the Toronto skyline.  We spent the night at the Skydome. From our two-level suite we were able to watch the baseball game right from our room.  We spent our last night in Windsor, Ontario. Pictured above is the Detroit skyline from across the Detroit River in Windsor.  The above picture was taken from our hotel room at the Hilton in Windsor.
