Milan, Italy. Richard M Trap. . . .Canada, the last page

Due to the size of Canada, I have to continue on another page. Now I’ve changed the way I do my web page. The pictures are smaller then it’s faster to upload the page and you just have to click on the picture to see them full size, and more pictures on the subject. The text follows the picture, and you can go to the next picture, like a slideshow to see all the page.
1 Before go further, this is the place where we passed our 2 days of honeymoon, yes !! 2 days only, thanks to DO, it’s not only is fault, the boss have their fault too. Comeback to the nice Inn, Auberge des Trois Erables in Wakefield, a suburb of Ottawa, very nice. We took the train from Hull for Wakefield, by the way, it’s the same train that Pierce Brosman take in the movie GREY OWL, but we took it before him.

2 This is the paradise I told you about earlier, Val-des-Monts (Perkins). A nice little dream corner, at 15 minutes from Gatineau, where I used to work. A town with 70 lakes, the river where we used to swim was at 2 minutes from the house, by foot. Upstream of the river was a lake, you see Jeep and me near the lake. The country, nature, cows, flies, deer, bears, mosquito, groundhogs, … near the house. The price of the house are lower than Gatineau, Hull or Ottawa.

3 You can see what the house in Perkins look like when my wife fall in love with it. I never notice it. When the paint and revamp the house and the land, she was beginning to be respectable. We only paid this house $55 000 CND with 2 acres of land, on top of a hill. We had to sell before leaving for Italy, because nobody want to rent a house of this size. It will be nice to keep it, but that’s the way it is.

4 This is the two lovers of my wife and by the way also mine. Black and a little white and very wrapped, it’s Micha. The gray and white, it’s Mouna. They had the three floors of our house to walk and they often came to see me, when I worked in the 3-rd floor.
5 After the presentation of our two lovers, here are their playing fields, is inside of Perkins's house. You can notice the magnificent Christmas tree in the corner of our living room, at the moment it’s in our living room in Milan, in June, because it’s artificial and fill an empty apartment. You have the library I built with my hands for necessity, because the books were getting out of ours ears. The image you see in the library is a window on the outside, really beautiful. 6 The following pictures were taken outside Perkins’s house. The freezing rain on spruces is a souvenir of the first ice storm which deprived us of electricity during 15 days. And the magnificent colors of the autumn in Perkins.
7 Here is the last city on Canada I cover in this report. Because I don’t have photo on the rest of Canada at the moment in Italy, I make with what I have. For Toronto, I have only a photo and some post cards, to end this small document. I have a photo of us with the falls in Niagara Falls in February. I have to admit, we have to be crazy to go there in winter, it’s like Gaspesie, there’s nobody there in February. 8 On this sad note, we return where we come from, you are not obliged to take Air Canada, my last experience indicates to me that the luggage maybe won’t go at the same place as you. The next American trip will be a part of the United States.
