Saguenay. Canada

An old town settled by trappers and fishermen with the assistance of Jesuit priests in 1640 or thereabouts, Saguenay was a welcoming community of about 140,000 souls.  They decked out n period costumes to provide a welcome to Azamara visitors (tourists equals money to the town).

We were greeted with fresh blueberry pie, a sawing demonstration, maple syrup and smiles abound.

And I scored goat wool, spun and wound.  Beautiful!

St. John's, Newfoundlandt

Azamara travelers were greeted by a Newfie who was loving the slobbering attention he received upon arrival in St. John's as we all hounded him with our affection.

Hello from Honfleur and Rouen, France

Rouen is the town where Catherdral of Notte Dame looms over its city square.  It is also the place where Joan 'd Arc was burned at the stake so if you look below you will see a picture of a plaque stating the fact.  If it were not pointed out to you by a tour guide, you would surely miss it.

And this is moi' grinning at you from the front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Rouen.

A picture worth a thousand words is of a carousel that gave kids rides for a few Euro.

More of France tomorrow or whenever I get internet access.
